New & notable legislation
The Patriot Post
President Bush vetoed another version of the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) expansion Wednesday. He wrote, “Because the Congress has chosen to send me an essentially identical bill that has the same problems as the flawed bill I previously vetoed, I must veto this legislation, too.” Oddly enough, The New York Times unwittingly got it right: “Democrats calculate that Mr. Bush will look heartless by vetoing health care for children and that Republicans will suffer at the polls.” It’s all politics. If the veto is sustained, a one-year extension will likely be passed.
The House passed 222-199 a bill to bar the CIA from using waterboarding as an interrogation tactic against murderous jihadis bent on killing as many innocent Americans as possible. Good thing Democrats are “tough on national security” —we would hate to see what weak looks like.
