“I would hope we would begin to debate some of the serious issues before us, like the tobacco settlement, saving Social Security, health care, juvenile justice. But those issues are nowhere to be seen because we have taken polls, and on an annual April 15th situation, we are debating the same constitutional amendment that was defeated last year around April 15th. So let us put it in perspective: We are not legislating; we are just posturing for political advantage. But I would have serious concerns about the constitutional amendment, H.J. Res. 111, the proposed constitutional amendment, with respect to tax limitation. The terms of the amendment are unbelievably vague. The only thing clear about the amendment is the fact that the amendment will cause great confusion.”
