I believe that requirement is unnecarisly antogonistic twords the people, particularly when it was not passed through the Congress in the way normal bills are passed, and not even fully written when signed.<br /><br />That is dereliction of the duty. It certainly ran around the flanks of the citizens, when it was seen as not having a strong chance of passing when it was treated like the bulk of the law making before this, particularly for legislation that spanned over 2300 pages of text and that wasn't even available until the day before (that time line from my recollection), and certainly not in time to have posted on the web for comment before signing, AS PROMISED.<br /><br />So, who's poking sticks in the eyes of who?<br /><br />If it's a measure worthy of the Country, then handle it as such and take your lumps if the vote is against you. The President's numbers for approval have been waning, steadily. If they are not for him, they must be against him, wouldn't you say?xformedhttp://www.chaoticsynapticactivity.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3098264341625381422.post-56296136817905289672010-08-02T09:07:26.352-07:002010-08-02T09:07:26.352-07:00True, though this is highly publicized on issues t...True, though this is highly publicized on issues that the public is engaged on.mike volpehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02999118519606254362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3098264341625381422.post-15206762982580155222010-08-02T09:00:31.828-07:002010-08-02T09:00:31.828-07:00Well that's federalism for you.

I don't think its fair to imply Obama is being unusually antagonistic towards the states any more than it would be fair to claim that red states are trying to judicially overthrow Obama.AGnoreply@blogger.com
