re: #210 Targetpractice

Best argument here might be “letter vs spirit of the law.” There’s nothing that prevents either house of Congress from sitting on a bill until the clock runs out.

this is sorta my point - and not directed at you

yes -there is nothing that prevents either house of Congress from sitting on a bill until the clock runs out.

- mcconnell is not sitting on a bill. he’s deliberately sitting on everything regardless of whether it has any merit

so ‘the letter of the law’ is a way of explaining how doing this is normal/allowed/acceptable

they wrote imperfect documents way back when. a lot of what’s going on today was never contemplated. they would have needed a lot more ink and paper to cover it all.

so no, this is not (imo) how business was intended to be done when they put the country together
