for more than 30,000 people struggling with cystic fibrosis. all of these people are potentially in danger, simply because of an overblown ideological attack on regulations which are just the rules that we adopt as a constitutional democracy to protect ourselves from harm. in answer to objections about the bill, the majority says that congress will still have its say. but if you read it carefully you see the congressional authority has been placed in a straitjacket. the bill requires an up or down vote on the commission's recommendations as a complete omnibus package, rather than voting on each proposal individually. if you agreed with loosening some regulations, for example, in the title 10 family planning program which has a lot of rules, but you don't want to eviscerate the structure under the clean air or water act, you'd have to vote on the entire act at once. this makes congress an embarrassing rubber stamp for a nine-person council. if this bill passes, rules that govern the very air we breathe would be subject to the scrub act's unelect
