Amigo, that last sentence is the honest truth. “It is evident that one of the things that really bothered legislators during this process was the lowly public’s daring to involve itself so deeply in the legislative process of the elite.” Not only that, but the electorate handed the elite their collective asses.
But beware. The congress critters will try to enact this in dribs and drabs, attached to other bills. Semper Vigilis.

It seems as though grassroots hit a bit of a raw nerve.
