[QUOTE="mons meg, post: 1764111, member: 90"] Before anyone gets confused or unnecessarily bent out of shape, I am not, nor have ever, indicated I support the practice of gutting a bill and replacing it with something entirely[B] different[/B]. I merely indicated that the practice of deleting the entire text of a bill and replacing it with an entirely similar but slightly modified bill is often used as a safer way to make an amendment, as was done in the case of SB1733 on the House side. Same clerical tool, entirely different intent and outcome. Russel's actions appear childish, and are an affront to spirit of the legislative process. However well intentioned they might have been, his actions are a set back to the pragmatic, incremental, long-game approach favored by myself, and similar minded folks at OK2A not to mention most of us on this board. Never let best get in the way of better, and all that. Cheers! [/QUOTE]
