I doubt Bush would sign anything like that even if it were passed. You gotta remember that back in 1993 and 1994, the Democrats controlled both chambers of Congress AND the White House. When they had control of everything, they were perceived by some as going too far on some things which is why they were tossed out of Congress in the 1994 elections.
Rest easy, at least until 2008. My guess is that the Democrats in Congress will pass all kinds of crazy things in the next two years that Bush won't sign and depending on what people want, they'll do one of two things:
1. The "split" deal, leave a Republican in control of the Executive Branch while letting the Democrats keep control of Congress. This has been happening here in New England for quite some time. Many Democratic party leaders actually love it because they pass their legislation, the Republican Governor vetos it and the Democrats have a Boogey Man to blame all the problems on.![]()
2. Give the Democrats control of everything. I actually look forward to this scenario, much like California under Gray Davis.If the Democrats go crazy (which I think they will) this will give the American public a dose of how NOT to run the country and the people will revolt in 2010 and 2012 and show them the door. However, if the Democrats actually do a GOOD job (ya never know....) then that would be great for everyone and they'll keep power for a while until they screw it up.
