I just posted a similar thought over on the GWB thread:

I wrote: "I suspect Bush will sign the campaign-finance reform legislation. Why do I say that? Because his people likely have already "conferred" with Scalia, Thomas and the other right-wing Supremes, and have been guaranteed that this won't stand the test of the Big Five. That way GWB fools the American public, comes across as a political reformer, and gets what he wants in the end ... keeping open the big-money GOP pipeline to Big Business. The process is called judicial lawmaking, a practice once abhorred, but now embraced, by the Republican right."

Do you know if the public got behind Shays-Meehan and called House members?

Why would the Supreme Court declare it unconstitutional? Their reputation will
become so tarnished that no one will pay any attention to them. Quite awhile
back Congress ignored the Supreme Court. At that time it didn't have the
power or status that it has today. I don't recall at what point this happened in
US history.
