Are you telling us that Bush cannot depend on one-third of the members of either House of Congress plus one to sustain any veto of such an abomination? Lets hope that 1/3 + 1 of the Republicans will vote to sustain. When they are out of power, they are more likely to return to their principles.

Some libertarians said that "divided government and checks and balances on President Bush is a good thing." Many libertarians before the election said, "Ah, ain't no difference between Democrats and Republicans..." Now we learn that the Top Armed Services Democrat is pushing for a return to the Military Draft; perhaps the grossest violation of civil liberties imaginable from a libertarian perspective. No doubt Republicans will fiercely oppose it, as they have done since Bush took over in 2001. Wonder if the libertarians who have been saying that Republicans are "no good on civil liberties" and Democrats are better on individual liberty matters will have to say now?
