Rep. Mia Love wants to crack down on Congress dumping controversial legislation into unrelated, must-pass bills in the middle of the night.
The Utah Republican has introduced a measure to limit bills in Congress to one subject at a time. It would prevent lawmakers from bundling things together or folding legislation into large appropriations bills. Each bill would rise and fall on its own merits.
"Members of both parties have made a habit of passing complex, thousand-page bills without hearings, amendments or debate," Love said. "That process and the collusion that goes with it are why we are $18 trillion in debt and why the American people have lost trust in elected officials."
Love's proposal takes a page out of the Utah Constitution, which requires the Legislature pass bills containing only one subject and that is clearly expressed in the title.
Good point.Someone will kill her bill by attaching a poison pill to it, lol.
"Rep. Mia Love wants to limit congressional bills to one subject at a time"
How typical of the naive TPM right - a truly childish, ridiculous, and inane proposal.
I can see this getting bi-partisan support. I want this to happen, for obvious reasons.

It's not a "ridiculous" proposal by any means.
Many state legislatures have single subject rules like this.
A tiny minority of the utah population participate in polygamy.I can see this getting bi-partisan support. I want this to happen, for obvious reasons.

but 5 wives back home...

No in theory it's not ridiculous.
