Kent Conrad: “Might I just pursue this a bit further and ask the Senator if, in fact, this would not appear to be ripe for further…”

On the recordFebruary 23, 1994
Might I just pursue this a bit further and ask the Senator if, in fact, this would not appear to be ripe for further court intervention? That is, what is reasonable? What is in good faith? What represents very small, or negligible deviations? Would any citizen have standing to go to the courts to question whether or not what was adopted by the Congress represented, in fact, a constitutionally acceptable definition of reasonable good faith?
