Who do those people think they are?

August at XOverboard has a nice rumination on Bush's choice to make the stem-cell legislation his first and only veto: this wasn't his idea, and what do the American people and their representatives think they're doing, coming up with their own ideas and working them through?

Basically, the passing of the stem cell bill is as close to any grade-school textbook presentation of how a bill become law. It is, in six years, quite possibly the closest example of an actual Congress actually doing something that actual Americans actually want their elected officials to do.

This, George W. Bush chooses to oppose.

Gotta nip that in the bud right away!
