Enough holes to march a parade through.

All legislation should be assumed broken until absolutely proven otherwise. At that point it should be simply suspected of being broken!

I agree with Heinlein, there should be two house of Congress. One only passes laws with no less than a 2/3 majority needed. The other only repeals laws with a 1/3 majority needed to be repealed. It makes it very hard to pass stupid legislation and very easy to repeal it.
