I was taking a look at what our US Congress has been up to, and I found the following pending legislation that I found interesting;
1. Sen. Mike Crapo (best name in congress) introduced S.521 (For the relief of Tim Lowery and Paul Nettleton of Owyhee County, Idaho) as a"private" bill. That means we can't see what it's about. This has to violate some rule somewhere?
I did a little digging and these two Ranchers in Idaho had to pay a bunch of lawyers fees to fend off a water rights legal battle against the Feds. They won, but didn't get court costs. So Crapo has introduced "private" legislation to take care of a payback. How the hell is that constitutional Mike?
2. Senator Wyden introduced S.543 (Wireless Tax Fairness Act of 2011) which prohibits The States (legal rights under the Constitution) from setting their own tax rates on wireless users. Um, so the States can't tax THIS ONE bit of commerce in their own borders? Very unconstitutional, and cosigned by John McCain and others. So glad both sides of the aisle are happy to ignore the Constitution.
3. This is cool, Senator Saxby Chambliss want's to set up a special "legal torture" wing of DHS. Don't worry, it's only good on "Unprivileged Enemy Belligerents"; There was another bill introduced using the same term. UEB will replace "terrorist some day? Just be nice and raise your hand, then you can blow up anything you want.
4. Since 2005, Senators Enzie and Barsasso have been trying to get someone called ""Ashley Ross Fuller" citizenship, without going through normal procedures. With another "privete" bill. WHY?? Give us a good reason and we might go along with it.
