Crazyedit: How sausage is made=corporate lawfare lawyers write new legislation from existing laws (many times using excellent well written laws) and twisting these decades old laws into massive money making schemes for elected but deceptive congress critters=decepticons
From Sundance 2017: There is not a single congress person who writes legislation or laws.
Not a single member of the House of Representatives or Senator writes a law, or puts pen to paper to write out a legislative construct. This simply doesn’t happen.
Over the past several decades a system of constructing legislation has taken over Washington DC that more resembles a business operation than a legislative body. When you are voting for a Congressional Rep or a U.S. Senator you are not voting for a person who will write laws. Your rep only votes on legislation to approve or disapprove of constructs that are written by outside groups and sold to them through lobbyists who work for those outside groups.
From Thomas Massie: You see, congress doesn’t actually write legislation. The last item of legislation written by congress was sometime around the mid 1990’s. Modern legislation is sub-contracted to K-Street. Lobbyists write the laws; congress sells the laws; lobbyists then pay congress commissions for passing their laws.
