[Rhodes22-list] legislative trick

[Philip]

What do you mean "why is it ok for the military to vote securely
electronically"?  Are you talking about absentee at the DMV?  When away, we
send for paper ballots.

but!....but!....thats legislating from the bench......ooooohhh! isn't that a
no-no?
  but seriously right now we seem to have line item additions by committee.
i think that when a final compromise bill is finished both full house and
senate should vote it into law. and maybe a limit to how many items to a
bill or a set dollar amount. i seem to recall being told that there are
actually no federal elections. that the federal officeholders are put on the
state tickets. why is it ok for the military to vote securely electronically
but not safe for the rest of us?

  Hi

At long last, Clintion was able to get the line-item veto
for budgets.

It's a shame we can't get a requirement to limit a bill to
ONE SPECIFIC thingy at a time!

Perhaps we can get a Senator to file a suit and let the
Suspreme Court create the rule. They did a good job in
the 60's & 70's on civil rights when the other two branches
of government were stalled on the issues.
