Future Unpopular Acts in Bush's Second Term

[russotto]

Yep. Same goes for the Assault Weapon Ban. If it gets renewed, it won't be part of a Bush deal because he'd lose more than he gains. Instead, it'll be one of those middle-of-the-night riders stuck onto some unrelated bill.

Instead, Bush's second term will consist mostly of more assaults on civil liberty, more bones thrown to the old people, more national mandates on education, and a lot of contradictory motion on immigration and tariffs. (on the latter, he'll institute tarriffs to placate labor, only to remove them when the Court of International Trade rules against them, placating importers and leaving the Court of International Trade as the bad guys)
