  There is no real need for the kind of permanence you think you need.

  Imagine if a building could only be a bar, for perpetuity, and nobody opened any other bars, because that first bar existed.

  Bars would suck for like… 99.99999% of the human population, huh?

  So…

  Start alternatives, on a host ypu maintain, and then everything can be ran perfectly how you want it to run

  Problem solved.

  Congressmen aren’t individually drafting bills, they direct their aids to draft the bills and hammer out the details

  One slight point, this isn’t how they get legislative drafts. Legislative drafts come from thinktanks like Heritage, ALEC, Vote Blue, etc.

  Oligarchs write legislation, and then find a congresscritter that owes them a favor. They “lobby” for it, ie they stop into the congresscritter’s office, drop the envelope with the text, drop a check for their campaign fund, and then the congresscritter gets it to pass.

  NYS pays more in federal taxes than we get in Federal dollars.

  I think we’ll be ok.

  Lots of potential tax revenue with cannabis.

  but you do see Unborn Children as a “Cluster of cells” that can be murdered at a whim

  Do you consider acorns to be trees?
