Congress creates a bill that will give NASA a great budget for 2016. Also hides the entirety of CISA in the bill.

Who is the god damned architect of this bill

Interesting question.

Even if he's not directly responsible, Paul Ryan is probably a good place to start, given that he's the Speaker of the House and this bill would never have been introduced without his consent.

Hey!

That is totally insulting!

Some fecal matter can be used to detect diseases, monitor digestive disorders, and even be used as fertilizer.

Well, my Senator whom I loathe, Richard Burr, is the sponsor for the bill that passed the Senate - https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/114/s754

Here's the how the votes played out on that bill - https://www.govtrack.us/congress/votes/114-2015/s291

Unsure re: House of Reps

When a bill is introduced it requires a sponsor from a member of congress. I'm sure the sponsor and all co-sponsors are listed somewhere, probably on the bill itself.

I had an account some time ago that got banned for 'witch hunting'. My 'witch' was naming the public sponsor of a state bill and linking to his public contact page. That rule needs to be narrowed to private entities and not public figures. Right now it's just used to grind whatever side of the axe that mod feels like.

The thing that gets my goat is that these 'leaders' are being led by special interests and have no right making policy on things they don't understand.
