Speech #1010149322

I offer this amendment out of great concern for the bill. which is really in dire need of amending. more so. I should say. than is the Hatch Act itself. In this "frenzied rush"-and of course I have heard that term used especially on immigration reform. We had not done anything for 35 years but they said it was a "frenzied rush to Judgment." This is a frenzied rush to Judgment after 50 years of a law being on the books. But. in this rush to reform. and revise this 51yearold Hatch Act. we have heard any number of justifications for passing this bill.
