What about some kind of overturn based on the "germaneness rule"? Two Reps called King out by asking what the Gaming Ban has to do with Port Security and he didn't have an answer. By law couldn't you say that it had absolutely no place in the bill?

they argue that online-gambling can be used as a money-laundering mechanism for terrorism.
This helps it relate more closely to port-authority.


I don't know much about the legislative process nor the 'germaneness' law.
But I thoguht that totally ridiculous and stupid attachments that had absolutely nothing to do with the original bill got snuck in all the time.


In other words, it wouldn't have surprised me if the Port Authority bill also had some random pork-legislation piece at the end that dedicated $20-million to Wyoming to study the sturdyness of cowboy hats.
