Delaying others as they have done unto me

            I don’t have much experience trying to kill legislation.

           Sponsoring as many bills as I do, my modus operandi is making a persuasive argument and trying to clear all of the hurdles necessary for my bill to become law.

           Instead, I’ve been on the receiving end of falsehoods and delaying tactics.

          At a strategy meeting today on a bill I oppose, I had the chance to do unto others as they have done unto me (but only the delaying part).

           Lots of witnesses and lots of amendments, I suggested.

           If the bill passes out of the House, then have it amended in the Senate. The House will have to act on it again.

           Time is your enemy when you’re trying to pass a bill. Delay is your friend if you’re trying to kill it.
