[Rhodes22-list] legislative trick

[Philip]

The military uses SSNs for all ID purposes.  My SS Card said "Not to be used
for Identification"  and it is from the 1950s.  I don't think they put that
on there anymore.  In Europe we had to put our SSN on our cheques to cash
them at the PX and Commissary.

There was talk of going back to a service number but I don't know where they
are with that.  Most programs the Army uses will bring up the number
XXX-XX-6257 or just the last four.  The whole number is required for
verification but the last four are used for display.

John,
  I read in Sat's Wash POST that the connection the military uses for
e-voting in not secure...and that personal info (SS nos, etc) are
transmitted over those connections for voting purposes...

  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.
