8. There are many such examples.

The system is clearly broken. Nobody with the power to do so seems interested in fixing it. The very notion that an oil drilling amendment could legitimately be tacked on to a "must pass" spending bill sounds like something that children would invent.

The very first laws passed by a truly ethical Congress would prohibit such nonsense, and also would make verifiable, auditable, standardized voting the law of the land.
