And, by the way, if Congress doesn't want to do the cutting itself, then give me the same line item veto I had as governor.

Is the Supreme Court going to reverse their decision?

He also said he would overturn McCain-Feingold. He has no authority as President to overturn any law especially one that the SCOTUS has already ruled. Talk about pandering -- he leads the pack. Any conservative that swallows his line, enjoys being pandered to and doesn't understand Government 101 IMHO.

Good point. And actually, I may not be particularly well liked for this, but a line item veto is an awful idea. Should we really give presidents the ability to punish political opponents by removing all their projects? Just because we're against pork doesn't mean the president, rather than Congress, should have the right to pick and choose what pork to keep and what pork to cut. I'd hate to imagine the Clintons with the line item veto...

Let Stevens or Ginsburg retire, and let Dubya appoint one more justice, and CFR will be DOA...
