The same thing I think every major newspaper and blog has missed to date: that the committee chairman can pigeon hole a bill, a way of silently preventing it from even hitting the floor
Android, shut up! I've still got guns to sell!

I kid, I kid. I work at ground zero with the public on this, and I get bombarded with questions, concerns, conspiracy theories and whatnot all day long at times like this. I talk to people who actually think the United Nations can enact legislation here. I am not kidding on that last one.

It amazes me that I have to give grown adults the Schoolhouse Rock lecture on the legislative process.

I'm glad to see the statement from Goodlatte. Unfortunately, the only member of the Committee from my state is Hank Johnson, and he won't be swayed from his views.
