Yeah, those law makers are referring to this as a mistake.
But this
IS their intent! That is the scary part!
No mistake in my opinion. Only said it was a mistake because they got caught with that language in the bill. The drafters of the bill didn't read it, and the members voting won't read it, but when it's passed and discovered, they will just say, "Oh well, but it's the law now" I believe they had every intent of that portion being included in the bill.
This is spot on. They got caught with their hand in the cookie jar and played the classic...."how'd that get in there?" defense. I don't care who put it in there....if you're name is on it....you own it!
I'm with you folks. That is exactly what came to mind when I read the article.
