Sense of The Congress resolutions aren't binding pieces of legislation.

Although, by the same token, they don't accomplish anything either.

I'm glad that you brought up this subject though, since the claim made by the Paulistas that their preferred candidate only votes for pieces of legislation that are consonant with the Constitution, or which do not increase the power of government authorities, is patent nonsense.

While in Congress he's done his share to spread the pork-or, since he's so deferent to the interests of Moslems, pastrami-throughout his district in the form of earmarks-although I don't believe that earmarks is an important issue in the broader budget debate, it does illustrate his hypocrisy-and has co-sponsored bills that do not meet his own absurd, minarchist definitions.

Exactly.
