Rep. Mia Love wants to limit congressional bills to one subject at a time

[Uncensored2008]

Why is it ridiculous?

Don't expect and answer from C_Coward.

He has literally NEVER supported any of his idiotic statements.

 

[depotoo]

He knows those hidden items benefit parties when they are snuck in. He doesn't want that cash cow to disappear, for whatever reason, I bet.

How typical of the naive TPM right - a truly childish, ridiculous, and inane proposal.

Why is it ridiculous?

 

[Uncensored2008]

This bill would significantly curtail corruption in congress.

Watch those who oppose it, because regardless of party, those who oppose this are crooks.

Good bye budgets and keeping America running.

You think graft and payola are what keeps America running?

Well you are a democrat, and a racist - but I repeat myself...

 

[depotoo]

What negative does it have on budgets?

Good bye budgets and keeping America running.

..?
It's not a "ridiculous" proposal by any means.
Many state legislatures have single subject rules like this.

It's “ridiculous” to those, like Mr. Jones , who support policies that could never be enacted on their own merit through honest means, but only through attaching them to unrelated bills.

No it's just that money saved would be there to keep America going in the right direction instead of the status qoue keeping it going in the wrong direction.

No in theory it's not ridiculous.

Of course it's ridiculous – in theory and in practice.

The 'proposal' is just more whining from the childish, sophomoric, reactionary right upset about omnibus legislation; it would be impossible, for example, to pass spending measures funding all the required departments and agencies 'one subject at at time.'

It's just another example of the ridiculous right's contempt for sound, responsible governance.

But if the subject is spending measures? I would hope the point of this legislation would be to prevent having a rider attached to a spending bill about same sex marriage, or curtailing abortion rights, or whatever unrelated thing some legislator wants to put on a bill that he/she is sure will pass.

I don't know just how often such unrelated items are attached to bills, but I absolutely understand the desire to curtail that kind of practice.

What she is saying, by example, would be that when it came time to raise the debt ceiling,

Congress would send the President a clean bill.

 

[blackhawk]

Doing that might actually force Congress to do something we sure as hell can't have that.

What is so wrong with her proposal? Do you like seeing poison pill abortion restrictions legislation attached to emergency aid funding for hurricane victims?

 

[Rustic]

Someone will kill her bill by attaching a poison pill to it, lol.

Progressives fuck everything up...

It's just never going to happen.

I can see this getting bi-partisan support. I want this to happen, for obvious reasons.
Rep. Mia Love wants to limit congressional bills to one subject at a time

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.

Have you ever thought about why they don't?
