As for the constitutionality of either bill, I won't even go there.

There is no fixing this mess. Scrap it and start over. And no more 2000+ page bills. No one understands them or has time to read them. :-[  I am embarassed at having blindly support the Democratic party for so many years. Now I have come to the conclusion that <strong>both </strong>parties suck! And neither is the voice of the people. I wonder now if either of them ever did or ever were. I agree 100%.
