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
