Re: "The floor of the Senate"
""The floor of the Senate" (and/or the House of Representatives) is where all of this should have been decided in the FIRST place."
In theory yes, Bob, but the complexity of modern legal systems, taxation and so on is such that your elected representatives don't have time to consider even a tiny fraction of the laws that get passed. If you want them to focus on the "important" laws, someone else is still going to have to fill in the details. Even Appenzell, once the most democratic (and tiniest) State (in the US sense) on Earth unless you were female, delegates a lot of decision making to its executive branch these days.
