And the Republicans get credit for stopping further corruption of the Fourth Amendment, so be it. The Democrats should be the ones refusing to extend it in any form.

I agree with the above remarks that Bush and his threat are those of a petulant brat. What I don't get: Let's say Congress passes a 30 day extension while they do further study (a quite reasonable move). What does Shrub gain and what does he lose by vetoing it ? After all, this extends FISA (and does what Shrub wants - albeit temporarily). So the extension doesn't loose anything for Bush except delaying the final answer.
