Congressman Ken Buck is one of the key Republican cosponsors of HR 3843, "The Merger Filing Fee Modernization Act of 2022" which seems like tiptoeing into Ken's bigger picture desire to go after "big tech" on anti-trust grounds (which I generally oppose.) Interestingly, the primary sponsor is Boulder Democratic Congressman Joe Neguse and Lauren Boebert is also on the bill. I bet there aren't very many bills over the course of a year that have all three of these folks on them. I also note that the true socialists Pramila Jayapal and Rashida Tlaib are sponsors as is the far-left Mondaire Jones (who, I am pleased to say, will be out of Congress after one term due to losing his primary in a newly created congressional district.) If I were any Republican I'd be very concerned to be on any bill that folks like those support. Yet here we are.
