Anyone who proposes a lousy tax or lousy law needs to be dragged out and be severely bullwhipped... Court overturns your dumb law? Bullwhipped! Voters don't go for your big tax increase? Bullwhipped! Trying to grab the guns of law-abiding citizens? Bullwhipped! Public outcry squelches your proposed new law that's before the City Council? Bullwhipped!

This ought to cut down drastically on the number of harebrained ideas that are floated before lawmakers, and definitely cut down on the number that are passed into law.

Decent, sensible people spend far too much time and effort undoing the damage done by these idiots. Must be millions of laws on the books, many of them dumb ones like the one proposed by this Falkenrath character that only serve to limit our freedoms.

Don't like my idea? So bullwhip me. I'd risk it for a chance to get my law on the books. Actually, you couldn't since my law wouldn't be on the books yet, hahahaha!

And they are elected and paid to pursue such non-essential situations instead of cutting waste, fraud, taxes, reducing crime, etc.

One forbid doing anything else than to bow to the Monster Nanny State.

Ever notice in any public appearance, only the GOP'ers are asked any question that hints at the interpretation of / factual words of the US Constitution?

The Decemvirs had neglected to import the sanction of Zaleucus, which so long maintained the integrity of his republic. A Locrain, who proposed any new law, stood forth in the assembly of the people with a cord around his neck, and if the law was rejected, the innovator was instantly strangled. -- Gibbon, The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire

Trying to grab the guns of law-abiding citizens? Bullwhipped!

You're WAY too lenient. Drawn, quartered and then hung from the nearest tree or lamppost.
