i know, i was just making the point that the line item veto was a republican tool given to a democratic president. nothing more.

Certainly true. It deserves to be revisited to see if it’s Constitutional issues can be solved in some way. Although I think it’s going to take a President willing to reverse the trend toward bills loaded with pork unrelated to the bill’s purpose to make a stand and refuse to sign such garbage to start returning to single-issue bills. And even then, the temptation to return to the old ways will remain strong for years to come.
