Just as a clarification on TVC’s WH’s ‘Sunlight’ abandonment post.

It’s quite good (H/T: Instapundit), but it has one bit at the end that needs to be addressed:

UPDATE: FWIW, the Waxman-Markey climate bill passed 219-212. Any guess how many of those 219 (or, for that matter, the 212) really know everything that is in the bill? [bolding mine]

None of them, but I just want to make sure that there’s no false equivalence going on here. If you’re a Member of Congress and you’ve just been handed an insanely long bill and told “Vote on this” without being given any time to read or comprehend it, you actually can honorably vote on it. It’s just that the only vote that doesn’t break your oath of office would be No.

It’s okay..

There’s a ‘Place Holder’ in the bill.

Where they can go back and fill in the blank for retro active legislation.

IT’S FOOLPROOF.
