I asked him the same question:

Maybe Obama just needs to appoint 9 more U.S. Supreme Court Justice's (friends) like FDR tried in order to make it legal.

Re: "Didn't we already go thru that and wasn't the law found unconstitutional?"

No.

A DIFFERENT LAW was held to be unconstitutional by the Supreme Court.

This new proposed law is *specifically addressed* to over-come what the Courts found objectionable in the earlier one.

(Obviously however... if and when this new Line Item Veto law is passed, it will *immediately* be challenged. Ultimately the Courts will have to answer whether it is permissible or not.)
