[QUOTE=Spooter;31329098]Yeah, you think the Super Congress is going to be too easily corruptible and will have too much power. I disagree, I think that congress would have plenty of power to keep the Super Congress in check.
Though to me the whole idea sounds fucking stupid, because the legislative branch as is has the ability to solve this debt ceiling problem. This is a stupid cop-out that excuses the idiotic posturing and complete absence of cooperation in Congress. It's not a flaw in the system, it's a flaw in the jackasses who would rather put their party before the country. Be they Republican or Democrat.[/QUOTE]
This is completely correct.

I'm scared on how realistic Deus Ex is, the world is slowly shaping to become like the games plot.
What would the people in super congress be called?
Super representatives? Because they really needed the self esteem boost between nap time and crying.

No. Not that the world of Deus Ex isn't plausibly presented, but the world is not shaping to become like the one of Deus Ex. MJ12 was a break-off of the Illuminati anyway, so unless you want to start saying that the U.S. Legislature is the Illuminati...

I think Congress is just trying to find ways to distract itself from that pesky little [b]debt crisis[/b] we have a stirrin'.

No, the US, I forgot I was on my VPN. Also, that is the Netherlands flag under my name, the Norway flag is because of Oslo

It's all a huge conspiracy, clearly it's entirely plausible for the secret group to hide out in Area 51.
Wait no, that's just silly.
I would prefer we had a super congress that was sort of like an invisible hand, one that comes before and after the regular congress.
Kind of like that .png to the left.
But really, a super congress would be better if it only handled bills that got continually stalemated, red-taped, and filibustered, such as what is going on now.
*sigh* This is just asking for a revolution.
Exactly what we need. A blatantly illegal, more powerful version of government.
I've never felt the urge to stab this many people at once.
New and Improved coming to an America near you! Super Congress, with his friend Super Supreme Court and his arch-nemesis Super President!
Is America really ready for the first black Super President?!

For once I think most of Facepunch will agree with you.

My god, the impossible happened, Something Glabber and I can agree with.
Last six posters can't read.
Pardon the late, but... :tinfoil:
What many people here fail to realize is that the fact that it takes forever to get things done is a good thing.
All they need is one democrat to come over to their side and bam - there goes Social Security and Medicare.

wow holy shit are you seriously retarded
this committee doesn't bypass congress. there's no way a bill eliminating medicare and social security would get through the legislative process super congress or no super congress
Is there actually a country in the world left not ran by a bunch of corrupt and stupid raving idiots?

Belgium.
They haven't had any government in over a year.
This shit makes me believe more in the philosophy that if the government doesn't adhere to the will of the people, the people have the right to abolish government and reinstate a new one.

HOLY SHIT GLABER MADE SENSE.
THE END IS NIGH!
