Oh cmon. The Dems came up with the idea of earmarks in the mid-70s.
But like every other convert to the addiction, it took the GOP to raise

since they retook the Congress.


Republicans have been interpreting things into the Constitution with
reckless abandon for years.

Yeah like seatbelt laws, etc. Again a pox on both Houses. But to
suggest the GOP is the only one (or even the originator) of these kinds
of things is hardly true.
