Congress - Cockeyed Optimists
So VAWA has finally passed ...AGAIN!..but only for 5 years.
Is there empirical evidence that supports the thought that in 5 more years, there will be NO NEED for this law?
The same thing exists for the Voting Rights "re-vote" that apparently SCOTUS is prepared to scrap.When a law is passed, why on earth bother to sunset it?
Human nature drives most laws anyway, and human nature has remained pretty constant since we started walking upright.
A law passed should remain law until it's obvious that it's no longer needed..
Do we "re-vote" on the 2nd amendment?
But we have to keep re-voting on the 15th amendment?
I know that VAWA is not an amendment, but it's a law we have had on the books for a long time, and why do we keep wasting rime, energy and ink on re-authorizing it over and over like we think that someday domestic violence will cease to exist..
Our congress is so jammed up that we cannot afford to waste time continuing to re-vote on the same things over and over and over.
Why not just do it and keep it? If something new comes along that comes along that needs to be addressed, just make it a standalone bill and make people choose sides.
