I suppose you have to get pretty jaded before you can find the current health care debate in Congress to be amusing. OK… call me jaded. I have long since given up hope that the assembled clowns, crooners, swindlers and shouters on the hill would strip down and re-tool the proposed health care legislation into anything useful, but there’s no reason that we can’t at least sit back, munch some popcorn, and watch the absolute worst aspects of the legislative sausage factory operating in full view of the world. The strangest part of the story, though, seems to be how everyone in Congress has pretty much stopped talking about the details of health care. Now it’s all about the process… how can it be snuck through like a burglar in the night or how can it be shut down cold, dying a death of a thousand cuts. With that in mind, I invite you to read my new column today at Pajamas Media, Talk of Health Care Lost in Mania Over Process. Remember: even if there is no health care scheme passed, it wasn’t a waste of time if we all learned something about congressional rules of order and 19th century Supreme Court decisions!
