In theory. But governments throughout the West are on the side of almost everyone but the people they theoretically represent.

But the timing of the president’s veto is designed to erode congressional support for the bill and put off a politically damaging override vote until after the November elections.

Obama waited until the very end of the 10-day period he had to issue a veto, hoping to buy time to lobby members of Congress against the measure.

But leading Democrats like Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) have said they will buck the president and support overriding his veto.

Sounds to me like the damage is going to be done politically by him vetoing it.
