sauce for the gander

Two recent stories about Congressfolk who have made valid and well-presented points:

From Janet Howell, an equal-treatment amendment that requires men as well as women "to have totally unnecessary medical procedure[s] at their cost and inconvenience".

From Ryan Dvorak, an equal-treatment amendment on drug-testing and welfare recipients. Best quote: "If we're going to impose standards on drug testing, then it should apply to everybody who receives government money."

Ma'am and sir, well done. Everyone who supported the original bills: try to have at least one of a heart or a brain.
