Or if someone slips up.
Or if it gets bundled with something everyone is really afraid of just right (see also the patriot act)
- avianlyric 2y agoMost countries don’t let you bundle legislation together like that. US problem with stuffing everything in giant uber-legislations to work around the congress’s ability to do anything is fairly unique to US, and doesn’t everywhere else. Heck, in the UK there are even rules around the naming of legislation which makes it illegal to give legislation marketing type titles like “The Patriot Act”. The titles have to explicitly outline the purpose and objective of the legislation (which then results in some very long titles).
