This is the kind of crap that should be so simple to address:
The Senate on Tuesday night easily passed an amendment to credit card reform legislation that would allow concealed weapons in national parks. The vote was 67 to 29.
The question now is this: Will a controversial gun proposal attached to popular underlying legislation be the poison pill that sinks that larger bill? That’s been the case with legislation allowing the District of Columbia a voting representative in Congress, to which the Senate attached language scrapping many of Washington’s strict gun control laws. As a result of that gun amendment, the DC-vote bill remains stalled in the House months after it passed the upper chamber.
What, in the wide wide world of sports, do guns have to do with the credit card industry? Doesn’t an amendment have to be “germane” to the purpose of the bill? Do we stop speaking English when it comes to Senate rules? Majority Leader Harry Reid could put a stop to this bullshit, if he wanted to.  I suspect that we’d be amazed at the good it would do.
