Independent Counsel, Kenneth Starr has lost a case in the U-S Supreme
Court that, generally speaking, can affect every American's relationship
with their lawyer.
SUPER: FILE.
It was part of Starr's investigation into what former deputy White House
counsel, Vince Foster told his lawyer about the firing of the White
House travel office staff five years ago...just days before Foster
killed himself.
Starr asked the court to rule that what a client tells their lawyer in
private can be made public after the client dies. But the court said no.
It's argued that a "yes" could have had chilling legal effects.

CLIENTS FEAR...THAT AFTER THEY DIE...AND SO WOULD HOLD BACK FROM TALKING
TO THEIR ATTORNEY.
In another high court decision, some were declaring a constitutional
victory on Capitol Hill.
The Supreme Court struck down the controversial line-item veto law.
Oct. 6, 1992
It essentially allowed the President to strike out specific tax and
spending measures in a bill, while agreeing to the rest of the package.
Congressional opponents cheered.
SEN. ROBERT BYRD/D-WV WE SHIFTED LAWMAKING POWER AND
THE POWER OF THE PURSE TO THE PRESIDENT...WHEN THE MAKING OF LAWS...ARE
IN THE SAME HANDS...THERE CAN BE NO PUBLIC LIBERTY.
The court essentially agreed, calling it unconstitutional.
Presidents have been after the special veto power for a political
eternity, and Mr. Clinton was the first to get it, and use it, starting
last fall.
Republican supporters are vowing to try again, in a way that will stand
