Interesting. As with the law professor that Powerline interviewed, I just feel, at this point, we cannot trust the ‘other’ side to bargain in good faith. Congress will get lots of money but not reform, etc.
May I offer a slight amendment to Make Congress Deliberative Again? I mean, it’s not exactly t-shirt material. Instead:
“Make Congress Cool Again”
The original “Mad” James

“Represent”
On the back it could say:
“Let’s get deliberative, y’all”
