So if you were a politician... not a good politician that cares about your people, but you know, a politician like most are today. Scumbags who hate the people the reportedly represent and think the country is their own playground... when do you aim to pass controversial legislation that would serve to diminish the power of the people, enhance your political or financial status, make your friends rich... and so on and so forth.
This is a poll. Please wait a bit while the poll get actualized.

During national holidays and when the media is fully on the hype train about some stupid stuff.
The best way to get crap legislation passed is to attach it to a totally unrelated bill that few will dare vote against. If, for example, I want a bridge to nowhere in my district so that my brother in law can make a bundle on a no bid contract, I simply attach it to a bill providing shelter for cute puppies. That way, anyone who votes against my bridge will be lambasted in the next election as a killer of cute puppies.
That's how business is conducted in Washington.

Yeah, and good thing too. It's the opposition's job to fight it. If the legislation would not have passed on its own, but wasn't controversial enough to tank the bill, sometimes you have to take that as a good thing.
Who is going to fight against protecting cute puppies or the moms are good people act?
