I'm in the process of changing my tune about this one. Folks are making some very good arguments about why this is another big win for Bush. However, was a line-item veto seen a priori as being clearly unConstitutional? I don't think so. It certainly wasn't an assault on individual liberties. On the other hand, the flagrant restrictions of free speech in M-F are fairly obviously unConstitutional infringements on our rights from the perspective of any thinking individual who holds the Constitution dearly.

Except for amending the constitution, it was quite evident that it wasn't constitutional. It's a separation of powers issue-- in the Articles and not the amendments. We supported it because it made good policy and we didn't care about its constitutionality. Just like the Dems and gun control and CFR. They approve of the effects of the law and don't care about whether it's actually "legal."
