Well, there's respected and respected.
How many co-sponsors does he have on that bill? I have to agree with the assessment that it has "zero chance of actually getting anywhere."

- soldarnal 16y agoI was under the impression that last June (2009) the House voted 310-118 to add an amendment (the Chaffetz amendment) to a bill to ban the scanners as a primary means of screening, but that the Senate never voted on the bill. It seems to me that such a bill would have popular support - supposedly it was backed by both the ACLU and the NRA - but maybe I am understanding the politics wrong.

- soldarnal 16y agoThe bill is HR 2200. It passed the House on 6/4/09 by a vote of 397-25. http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d111:HR02200:@@@R http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d111:HR02200:@@@R
