Non-Legislative Counsel May Get Involved
From bhwblog.com:
Aside from being prudes, the bill's authors are also plagiarists. Does that list of words ring a bell with anyone else? Sounds to me like the authors based their bill on George Carlin's famous Seven Dirty Words routine....They lobbed off the @@@@ and stuck in an @@@@@@@. Guess what, that's still plagiarism. Wouldn't it be hilarious if George Carlin sued the House of Representatives for copyright infringement?
Perhaps they can claim fair use. This is getting @@@@ingly ridiculous.
The following question is then asked: "What if the House debates the bill and the reps start arguing over which words do and don't belong on the list? Wouldn't the C-SPAN broadcast of the debate violate the bill itself?" My answer: if the bill has not yet passed, the debate would not violate the law.
