Any bill can be challenged in court so yes, they have to get it as close to the law as they can.
The reason to lump all of these together is because congress does not have the time to vote on each one separately.
There are simply not enough hours in the day even if they work 24/7.
You have 635 members of congress which at any given time half of them are going to be proposing legislation.
Do you know how much that is?
That is crap they have all year they do not want to deal with a true budget they want to fill bills with pork to increase the debt

Congress passes up to 600 pieces of legislation a year, now tell me how they are going to send all those through committee then vote on them separately?
It's impossible.
They need to lump them together in bunches, especially the ones passed to only keep our government running.
The major ones they have to spend their time debating and sending back and forth.
The budget should be a priority

It is, along with the defense bill.
It is not when they keep doing omnibus bills
They are due to go on vaction again soon
They are on vacation when they are there!
And the defense bill should include ONLY money for defense, not some transgender studies in West Jabib.

You have no idea how legislation works.
Yes, I do. Why should transgender studies in West Jabib be included in a defense bill? Look at all the bullshit that has nothing to do with infrastructure in the infrastructure bill.

Because major bills that have to be passed have things added to them that haven't gone through committee, it's called "Pork".
Congress does this because they pass up to 600 pieces of legislation a year and don't have time to go through each one of them, send them through committee and then vote on them separately.
Congress would cease to function if they had to do everything by itself.
So major bills that have to be passed are the ideal place for both sides to add in legislation and this is where reconciliation takes place where both sides look at the stuff added and negotiate to take things out.
Like I said, you have no idea how legislation works.
Don't tell me I don't understand. There is no reason to include shit that has nothing to do with the bill being worked on. I know they do it, I merely say they shouldn't.

Then you are going to end up with very little legislation being passed.
Don't you think that would be a good thing? Eliminating the "pork"?

The defense bill is just the name of it but defense is only one small part of it.
It's a comprehensive bill to pass many pieces of legislation at once, it is not meant to be just about Defense.
Like I said, you don't understand how legislation works.
You think just because it's called defense it should only be about that but you are completely wrong.

Bad things get passed and good things get passed.
I think that not passing legislation is the worse option, at least bad legislation can be challenged in the courts.
And that's the problem. Why write 3 paragraphs when you can say what you want to say in one sentence?
From Pelosi's mouth, "We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of the controversy."
How many pages were in that particular bill? Who read them all before passing it? Lots of unknown bullshit goes into these bills. I say it shouldn't.
