...and that, in my mind, makes it a bad law. If there's ways to game it, it will be gamed, and by the biggest and most powerful, in order.

When everyone agrees on what it will do, but disagrees on whether those are good things or not, it's ready to consider passing.

But that's a pretty high standard for modern-day America. If it doesn't require the mandatory gerbiling of elementary-schoolkids, it's a pretty good law for the Republicans at this point.
