Audaciously, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) on July 28 proclaimed the “Cut, Cap, & Balance” legislation, which requires the federal government to live within its means, not only “a bad piece of legislation,” but “perhaps some of the worst legislation in the history of this country.”

Whoa, hold on there, Senator! The worst legislation in the history of the country? Surely there are plenty other bills that top the historical trash heap of terrible and downright evil bills! National Review editor Jonah Goldberg aptly pointed to the Fugitive Slave Act and the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930. Think of all the many other pieces of bad legislation we have to scorn and/or ridicule. In fact, let us know — what is your nomination for the worst piece of federal legislation ever!
