At least two unnamed Republicans have placed holds on a bill to crack down on human growth hormone (HGH), despite strong bipartisan support and the backing of the sports industries most directly affected.

The secret holds, which are now only allowed for six days under new ethics rules, delay legislation that was moving just two weeks after star pitcher Roger Clemens testified before a House committee about his alleged use of the controversial substance.

The greatest advancement that could be made to democracy in America is a total rewriting of the Rules of the House and Senate.

There is a multitude of devices set in the rules of both chambers designed and used to block, obstruct, circumvent, get around the pruposes and intents of representative democracy.

That is interesting. Where are the major manufacturers of HGH located? And has "Medicare" Billy Tauzin been seen on "K" Street lately?
