notlongnow: precisely the point Congress is acting like a bunch of kids with short attention spans.

Idealogy has taken percedent. I believe Congress needs to ensure that the U.S. Constitution is protected and abided by. I believe the government has an obligation to educate and advise . However it has immersed itself into so deeply into our lives that we are now all caught up in the tackle of unnecessary regulations. These regulations have resulted in both intentional and unintentional consequences and reduced our freedoms.
