3. It was George Stephanopolis. He said that the sentiment he heard

from both sides of the aisle and up and down the political spectrum was that if Bush vetoed legislation to stop the port transfer, they (Congress) would be happy to shove an override right down the Bush Administration's throat.

[Arkansas Granny]

5. That would really be fitting, wouldn't it? The first time he uses

his veto power in over five years in office and it is overridden by Congress.

[Laelth]

4. Ah, I see now.

The "middle-eastern company running the loading and unloading of cargo at American ports" issue.

I get it now.

8. What other veto threat could there be from a president who has...

never vetoed anything before? :)

[Laelth]

15. Good point.

[bluedog]

9. can bush pass this bill with executive order?

[seafan]

10. Maybe he'll sign another one of those "signing statements" that he thinks

will let him ignore any and all legislation to stop this deal.

It's wunnerfull bein' the pretzeldent.

12. If Congress has 2/3, then they can over-rode a Bush veto.

If there is no Congressional action, then the deal will go ahead.

[high density]

13. Sounds like they should be able to get that

Everybody hates this deal but Bush.

[Raffi Ella]

11. I just heard that too

It's astounding that Congress is going to finally step up to the plate and say No to this President;do their job.
Now if they would start some meanigful investigations in regards to all his other high crimes and misdemeanors maybe then my faith in Government could be restored...

[f-bush]

14. It should be rammed up his ass!!!
