Inaction allows the impression that they didn't cause the problem and gives them an out. I would rather have a disastrous bill to hold in their face with their vote and say " SEE IT IS YOUR FAULT".
Lets stop allowing them the out. Lets demand they hold up or down votes and then hold them accountable. The bills will shape up quickly when they have to vote one way or the other.
IMO, forget writing a bill.
Just enforce our laws already on the books. As well, make THIS the issue of the '06 campaigns. It's quite clear they don't want to take a stand. Let's make them have no choice.
