    The wording of that law ('annoy') is simply ridiculous.
    "Look I’ve got my old pledge card a bit battered and crumpled we said we’d provide more turches churches teachers and we have I can remember when people used to say the Japanese are better than us the Germans are better than us the French are better than us well it’s great to be able to say we’re better than them I think Mr Kennedy well we all congratulate on his baby and the Tories are you remembering what I’m remembering boom and bust negative equity remember Mr Howard I mean are you thinking what I’m thinking I’m remembering it’s all a bit wonky isn’t it?"

    Hey, it keeps the lawyers employed...

    The feminists need their laws too...

    I mean, look at this example of Michigan law...

    A woman isn't allowed to cut her own hair without her husband's permission.

    But still, this one is in their favor...

    It is illegal for a man to scowl at his wife on Sunday.

    What I'd like to see is piece of crap politicians stop sticking unrelated amendments to must pass bills. I would also like to see people in the Congress reading the bill sthemselves, instead of delegating it to staffers who "summarize" it for them, something that happens more frequently than most of you realize.

    And no, it didn't have to pass because if others had been alerted to it they could have told the author to remove it or freeze the bill, much like the entire Senate did when Jackass Spencer from Alaska tried to attach an ANWAR drilling amendment to the bill that was giving troops pay increases. And despite spencer crying on the floor, threatening to call session over holiday break, and waving his fist and telling fellow Republicans "but I always helped your states out when you needed it!" and making a subtle hint that he was going to "lose it" and start busting heads, the entire Senate stood up against this guy and told him to take it out. So no, this wasnt "must pass" legislation because it could have easily had the attachment removed by telling the author to take it off and bumping it to the back burner for 3 hours, and then Specter would have lookied like the buffoon for holding up a federal department budget bill over an internet issue.

    So the others either knew about it and didnt care, or they didn't know because none of them read the freaking things they vote on since they are too busy having lunch with lobbyists or cheating on their wives.

    I don't like the "no enforce" rule because at some point we may get some yahoo who will enforce it, and it will blindside everyone who had no idea it was a law to begin with.

    I'd say that's pretty clearly unconstitutional.

    I very nearly break out in a rash when someone brings out the Holy American Constitution these days...

    Such a vaguely worded law is a liability.

    Agreed. It's happening far too often, and people keep falling for it.
