Congress' *real* job...

Congress' real job should not be passing laws providing funding, prohibiting activities, etc. It *should* be in creating and passing Constitutional amendments per the 10th that re-define the responsibilities and duties of the federal government within the changing millieu of the current society. This way the people via their state representatives have a much closer input into what the feds are actualy enpowered to do and to who.

Be careful what you wish for. This Congress is far more likely to pass amendments nullifying the 2nd, the 1st, the 6th, the 4th, and others. And they'll probably rewrite the 13th to read "no involuntary servitude...unless we say so."
