There needs to be a law that bans unrelated riders in bills, but neither party is willing to forego the ability to inject shit into bills like this.
Hell, Mark Meadows proposed a Constitutional Amendment to this effect, but it hasn't gained any traction, that I've seen.
riders in general should be eliminated. every measure of a bill should need an individual vote, then an end vote if enough of the individual measures have been approved to vote the package into law.
i get that we can't literally ala cart laws, because policy is more complex than that, but riders are awful. the process is ripe for gridlock.
