Yeah. The bonkers-ness of the way he did this is really undersold by the headline. He "vetoed" particular parts of the sentence and individual digits out of particular numbers to assemble a whole new law that was totally different than the law that anyone had intended to pass. It's nuts. I have no idea why they decided it was okay.

Yep. Exactly. This is blatantly fucked up. I don't care how noble or good the cause.
