Okay so maybe it was his budget... How does the NIH report to HHS? As a division? How much authority would Tommy Thompson have over it? So I guess Bush should just start veteoing full budget bills just because of one issue of funding he doesn't agree with? I guess some people are never happy...

Too bad the line-item veto was declared unconstitutional. I'm still not sure I understand that.

Still, it looks to me as if the funding was there and the staff or director decided on how to distribute it. And this grant was approved on the Clinton-appointed acting director's last day on the job.

I thought he agreed with the "already killed" babies being used.

But we won't fund anymore being killed
