> For example, in December 2020, Tillis introduced legislation to make it a felony to run a pirate streaming site. Just two weeks later, the proposal was attached to the massive 5,600-page, $900 billion COVID spending bill. As a result, Tillis' bill became law before most lawmakers—to say nothing of the general public—had time to read it.
This kind of doing it, as an intentionally deceptive practice, should itself be declared felony (or whatever a felony against the whole country and the whole legislative system as a victim is called).
