What I worry about is if Bush is gonna sign for this. I don't think he has much of a choice at this point, but as the Scooter Libby pardon shows, he doesn't seem to have much to lose from making self-serving, obviously cronyist decisions. Public opinion is already against him.
With the vote being so lopsided, I'd be surprised if Bush does not sign it.
