re: #232 Dark_Falcon

The thing with that particular bill is that to write it “tightly” would be to create a bill that would suffer one or more of the following problems:

1. Couldn’t pass the Senate. It’d get election year support from Dems in the South and Far West (as well as from Sen. Casey of Pennsylvania), but Senators Kirk and Collins (Republicans from Illinois and Maine, respectively) would oppose it. The bill would never get 60 votes and thus would fall to a fillibuster.

Totally moot. Ryan couldn’t even get his bill out of his GOP controlled House subcommittee, it was that bad.
