It's almost as if we need a "Congressional Versioning System" rimshot.

At least we're finally getting open bill status data as XML, without having to rely on GovTrack scraping the Federal Register.

This is the best means of subversion against those who would commit acts of corruption in office.

But then they could be held accountable for their shitty actions, and if there's one thing they don't want, it's that!

There should be an automatic ban against anyone who attempts to shirk responsibility.
