Wetterling v Bachmann

Michele Bachmann's first official action in Congress was to sign on as one of 107 co-sponsors to H. Res. 1, or the "balanced budget amendment."

It was referred to the House Judiciary Committee, where it will most likely die a slow and painful death under the watchful guidance of new chairman John Conyers.

There is something ironic about the fact that Bachmann's first bill was a constitutional amendment. Do you think she understands the irony?
