Hiding the Ball

7/29/09
Pres. Obama just said on television that in his Health Care Plan there is no attempt to "hide the ball".
I am sure that you already know ANY 900-page Bill is an attempt to "hide the ball". I really have difficulty reading some 300 to 400-page novels. A politician's basic activity is to talk and listen. He would have to be a genius to also have the patience to read a 900-page bill line by line.
Bills should be no longer than several pages containing the basic elements of the subjects intent. We have a Supreme Court to judge Congressional laws. If a Supreme Court makes a subsequent incorrect judgment relative to Congress's intent, Congress can modify that law with an addendum. This would not be as cumbersome as it sounds, and would be much better than voting 900-page laws which few people understand.
