Has there ever been a time where we have passed special legislation and not used it for other issues

Question

example RICO laws

homeland security

and have any ever been repealed

Answer 1

Seldomly. As crazy as the government is, there are some laws that have been passed that have actually done some great good. An example of that would be Megan's Law. As nuts as our government is.. Look at some 3rd world countries where you can get shot in the head and there are no consequences. Is the USA perfect.. no.. but we are still one of the best countries to live in and I'm pround to be a citizen.  =)
