I mean say what you want about Bush but when he half-assedly demanded a line-item veto after bitching about must-pass spending bills, he at least was sort of aware of the SCOTUS ruling and sent model legislation to Congress LINK

That's not at all what happened. Not even close.

Just watched and yeah pretty bad. That’s going to become the new narrative though, and the spin doctors are working on the perfect way to craft it.

you made it sound way worse than what it was
CW: Line item veto is unconstitutional.
SM: Congress could pass a rule or exception.
CW: It's unconstitutional so they would need to do an amendment.
SM: Okay I really dont want to get into it.

Yeah that rich a-hole shouldn't be bitching about spending as long as he is wasting taxpayer money like this:

quote:
A $15,112 trip to New York for a meeting with the president at Trump Tower to “discuss pending issues regarding tax reform and tariffs.”
A $16,350 trip to Ottawa, Canada, last June for 20 people, including Linton and members of the press.
A $33,046 flight to Louisville and Fort Knox in August for “for official events with Majority Leader McConnell, U.S. Representative Guthrie, and other potential officials.” A military plane was needed “due to scheduling, logistics, and communications needs.” Mnuchin also took a $94,100 flight to Parkersburg, West Virginia, and Las Vegas “for official events with Senator Shelley Moore Capito, Senator Joe Manchin, and Congressman David McKinley in WV and Senator Dean Heller in NV.”
That same month, the Treasury Department requested that Mnuchin and his wife be allowed to fly on a military jet “for a personal junket to Edinburgh, Great Britain; Paris, France; Gargnano, Italy; and Milan, Italy that was, in fact, their honeymoon trip.” Mnuchin said at a Politico event that he withdrew the request after he found another option. CREW noted that the documentation it received did not reflect the change.
A $45,136 military flight to Miami for the Conference on Prosperity and Security in Central America and a meeting with Jose Antonio, Mexico’s finance minister. The trip would have cost $688 per person on a commercial flight.
A weeklong $183,646 trip to the Middle East for “bilats and press conferences with government officials and participate in business roundtables with local/international business leaders.” Jared Kushner and then-deputy National Security Adviser tagged along for each leg of the trip.
A $301,167 three-day trip to the United Kingdom and Germany last March for meetings.
A $314,000 trip to Bari, Italy, for the G-7 finance ministers meeting on a military aircraft. CREW noted that the original request for a flight included an ask for a “C-40B/C if aircraft is available” but the trip was taken on a smaller transport craft that fit 45 people. “The initial request for the larger C-40 that can accommodate 120 passengers (or 8 pallets of cargo/some combination therein) for a trip with a manifest that included 24 names (UST 000052-53) is puzzling at best,” CREW noted.

That is all bad, and shitty how much it costs, but one of our highest ranking officials can't fricking fly commercial. It would be a shite show with security detail.

Chist Wallace, a leftist &/an a-hole,. Need I say more

What are the arguments against a line item veto? Either a law that follows SCOTUS guidance or an amendment?
I’m struggling to come up with a reason we shouldn’t have had this by now. Omnibus bills are horseshite.
The entire function of Congress is horseshite these days. Apparently now only one piece of decent legislation can be worked on at a time, despite having a literal army of committees and various groups dedicated to legislation. Congress won’t do anything of significance for the remainder of the calendar year. And that is completely absurd. At this point we have 6 months of semi productive work per legislative cycle. If that. It’s completet ridiculous how poorly they do their jobs. I have no idea what those 535 people do all the time. But I digress, that’s for another thread. /rant

It is his wife, who apparently is an evil villain of some sort. Judging by her outfit, I think she is SS and in charge of Toddy camps.
