Dave,
I hope your IP list can help get this outrage the attention it deserves.
Meanwhile, a long-term prediction. While this "trick" of slipping
controversial legislation into larger bills to avoid careful examination
is not completely new, this Republican Administration appears to be using
it much more aggressively and effectively than ever before.

I guess it's a matter of point of view, but I seem to recall *both* parties
using this
trick such as egregiously in the past. And this is but one of the
parliamentary
maneuvers used by whichever side thinks they can get away with them.
Having said that, I agree that civility between the parties reaches new
lows year
after year. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix this problem?
Bob
