				Such a step, said Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kan., would set a terrible precedent in relations between the executive and legislative branches of government, which have historically let each other set their own budgets.

 Not to be on one side or the other (though this did give me a bit of a smile), um... I know it's historical, but maybe that's why the budgets have been so notoriously out of control.  Weren't the branches 
supposed to be adversarial?  You know, the whole Judeo-Christian thing?
