What is up with Frist and these amendments? Can't these guys ever pass a clean bill on anything other than renaming a post office?

No, they can't. Besides, there is nothing in the Constitution from preventing it. However, Tennessee has a consttutional provision that PROHIBITS amending a bill with anything not directly related to the main bill and it also prohibits more than one subject being addressed in one bill.
We have found that it works really well to keep them from sneaking in unwanted or unpopular legislation.
