Bingo. We can and should kill every piece of legislation that enters the house. This is the most divided America we have seen since the 1960s if not the civil war and the congress should be reflective of that.
Sometimes gridlock is your friend.
My view is that every piece of legislation should have to pass this first litmus test: Somehow we’ve survived two hundred and thirty years without this law. Why do we suddenly need it now?
A second more temporary litmus should be: the Obamists are going to be gone in two years. Why should we pass anything they want? Why should we not instead spend the next two years doing a proctological audit of Fannie Mae? or TARP? I seem to remember all that money going to districts that didn’t exist; isn’t anyone the least bit curious where the money did go?
Why not take a holiday from mucking up the law books and spend a little time holding the O accountable?
