Good legislation should bring clarity and not confusion.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My goal for reform is not necessarily to pass laws but to make sure the laws are being followed.
I definitely need clarity.
It's hardly a radical idea to suggest that regulators and legislators understand the law now, is it?
We should be able to go to our government and get clear answers.
Laws must be clear, precise, and uniform for all citizens.
A good compromise, a good piece of legislation, is like a good sentence; or a good piece of music. Everybody can recognize it. They say, 'Huh. It works. It makes sense.'
In order for answers to become clear, the questions have to be clear.
Rule-following, legal precedence, and political consistency are not more important than right, justice and plain common-sense.
I would consider all of the legislation which I have supported meaningless if I were to sit idly by, silent, during a period which may go down in history as an era when we permitted the curtailment of our liberties.
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.
