I thought that the problem is that the "existing stem lines" actually approached nowhere near the 60 or so that Bush suggested there were when he implemented the policy. Instead, there's something like 16, which is apparently so limited that researchers can't do much meaningful work with them. So suggestions that the current playground is plenty big for scientists to run around in may not be true.
That said, I've just about exhausted my knowledge of the issue, and I'll defer to others here.
