Legislation giving the president line-item veto authority passed in 1996, but in 1998 the Supreme Court ruled it unconstitutional in a 6-3 decision with Justices Antonin Scalia, Stephen Breyer and Sandra Day O’Connor dissenting. The makeup of the court has not changed since then.

It was unconstitutional because congress is to make the laws not the president.

Maybe they will find this unconstitutional too.

Thanks! What a terrible decision. Along with so many others. I can't believe the Nazgul. I just can't. The three dissenters are the good guys.

(I like your tagline.)
