Lawyers are unique. Two unemployed lawyers can put each other to work. When a third one starts writing laws Lawyer full employment is the natural consequence.
Try that with any other profession.
As I remember, the Vulcan Legislature in Star Trek had 3 houses - two to pass laws, and one which could repeal one with only a 1/3 vote for repeal. Hmmmm.
And in "Star Ship Troopers", by Heinlein, only veterans could hold office or vote. Anyone could join the armed services, and you could quit at any time, but only those who fulfilled their service could vote or hold office. This ended up with voters who had a committment to the government, had some degree of self discipline, and knew what it meant when a govenment sent off soldiers to fight and die. And it was stable - anyone with military training who wanted to change the government structure was already a veteran and could vote. Hmmmmm.
I agree we should put a federal sunshine amendment into place that requires all laws enacted be re-voted up every five years and re-signed by the President.
We should also put into the Constitution the line item veto. Ditto the flat tax or fair tax, and a tax cap, and a balanced budget amendment.
Meanwhile, where is the GOP on this? All of a sudden, none of that is important to the GOP any more.
