::Hmm, makes sense; too often it's a game of optics and political football. The [[Copeland anti-lynching rider amendments]] might fit into that category, as their passage would've obstructed the main New Deal legislation they were introduced to the addition of. —[[User:LT|<code><span style="background:#FF8181">'''LT'''</span></code>]] '''''[[User talk:LT|<sup>Smash Ukrofascism!</sup>]]''''' Wednesday, 22:01, June 13, 2023 (EDT)

:::That's the way the system has always worked, or at leaast the public understood it - until now. Nowadays the legislation is written by [[K Street]] lobbyists and donors, and the members are instructed later that they are sponsors on bills. The new system is not widely understood by members, journalists, and the public yet. (There's a recent video on Fox where Lindsey Graham's expressing opposition to a bill and then he's informed that he's a sponsor, which he didn't know).
