Now, the question people should be asking themselves is why would they vote for any politician who supports legislation that's clearly unconstitutional. I know for a fact that I would never vote for anyone who voted for this or any other legislation that's blatantly unconstitutional. It's one thing to vote for something you believe to be constitutionally sound only to have it stuck down in the courts. That kind of thing, especially in legal gray areas, happens from time to time. IMO, the CFR bill has provisions that are so blatantly unconstitutional that anyone who votes for it is violating his oath of office.
I honestly believe Bush should veto the bill on those grounds, but I doubt it'll happen. His policy wonks are reportedly urging him to sign the bill in part because they think it'll benefit the Republicans who traditionally raise more hard money than the Democrats.
