The shame is that it isn't working. Read what I write a thousand
time. Perhaps you can asphyxiate yourself.

It would also be interesting to go over that list and see
if those, who were listed, are still in the same business
and if they have acquired other kinds of businesses.

I don't understand the question.

Not at all.

This may be splitting hairs but it's so important that our whole
society is based on it. Congress can make any damn law they
want. The checks and balances in the Constitution allow the
Supreme Court to declare the law unconstitutional. Not illegal
but not allowed using the Constitution as a metric.

hmm...That could create havoc. I can already think of four messes
to make using that delay to my advantage. Is there a reason they
allowed the law to stand while the change is getting written?

What happens if the lawmakers defy your constitution and don't change
the law? Does it still stand or do the two bodies have a duel?
