Should probably learn a little more about how things like that work before you decide you hate someone for passing it. This is assuming it's the same law, which i'm sure it is.
No, you miss the point again. I'm pissed at congress for trying to sneak that BS in to the bill in the first place. It wasn’t apparently part of the bill at the time it passed through the House of Rep, meaning it was slapped on by the Senate and rushed off to be signed with out it making any waves. Making concessions while passing bills, trading one law to get another, that happens all the time. However just because you pass the bill doesn't mean that part of the law has to be enforced. If you had taken the time to read the link you would have seen this that very clearly points out the opportunity that Bush now has to show his true colors. Read:
"If President Bush truly believed in the principle of limited government (it is in his official bio), he'd realize that the law he signed cannot be squared with the Constitution he swore to uphold.
And then he'd repeat what President Clinton did a decade ago when he felt compelled to sign a massive telecommunications law. Clinton realized that the section of the law punishing abortion-related material on the Internet was unconstitutional, and he directed the Justice Department not to enforce it."
I just have to add people like you truly mystify me. People having too many rights? Yeah F***ing right. You sound like Denny Crane off of Boston legal. I find it truly hard to wrap my mind around someone that actually wants Big Government. Holy S***.
