DeMint's S. 374 is basically a proposal.
DeMint served on the Senatorial Committee that reviewed and wrote the law.
After having read the process by which this law was written, I cannot support DeMint. Yes, he voted against it, but he contributed to it also. Knowing these facts leads me to believe that he knew the bill would pass with or without a YEA or NAY from him.
I think that it is a direct conflict of interest for him to attempt to revise it when he suggested that Attorney Generals should not hold responsibility for the law. The U.S. Code regulations state otherwise - he should have known that.
I believe someone else needs to step up to the plate to scrap it and start over.
