"True they can try to rewrite the law,"

They did rewrite it. This is a new proposal for law.

"... but it could still suffer the same fate."

Also true. (Though several legal experts believe it might pass constitutional muster now.)

"As much as I hate wasteful spending, there is no guarantee that that's what a President would use the law for."

True again.

(But we know how Congress views their earmark privileges now.... so the proposed Line Item Veto law might not pass anyway.)
