Nothing happens in any legislative body that's not purposeful.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The constitution controls any legislative act repugnant to it.
A government that doesn't work is in no one's interest.
First, the American legislative process isn't well suited to large and complex measures.
Legislative novelty is not necessarily fatal; there is a first time for everything.
I'm the only person that has ever run a principle-based legislative body.
Whenever there's a bad law, it can be repealed or nullified.
Under our constitutional system, the executive executes the laws that Congress has passed. It should not be executing laws that Congress has rejected.
You do not examine legislation in the light of the benefits it will convey if properly administered, but in the light of the wrongs it would do and the harms it would cause if improperly administered.
Clearly there are always unintended consequences of any legislative or regulatory act that's taken in the heat of battle.
What I have come to realize over the twenty years when I have worked in different roles as a legislator is that no legislation is as good as the enforcement of it.
