To a dem, vetoing legislation that outlaws red-lining and supposedly will help minorities own homes is not taking the high ground.
Remember, in 1999, the economy was roaring along, we had a surplus in the treasury, and business was good. Even dems thought that a little more deregulation couldn't hurt, especially undoing "outdated" depression era regulations that were presented by Gramm and others as a hindrance to further economic expansion. To add a little icing to the cake, there was a prohibition included that furthered civil rights. I doubt that a veto even crossed Clinton's mind.
