"The Diamonds Hidden in H.R. 1's Massive Mine"

Over at RealClearPolitics, I have this piece, "The Diamonds Hidden in H.R. 1’s Massive Mine.” It begins:

At a whopping 886 pages, H.R. 1, the For the People Act of 2021, has stirred plenty of controversy. It passed the House along almost perfectly partisan lines: 220 Democrats supported it; 209 Republicans and one Democrat opposed it. The Senate is considering a similar bill.

But within those 886 pages are at least a few provisions that can generate some consensus. Most are rolled over from previous failed bills in Congress, and if they were standalone measures, perhaps they could garner supermajority bipartisan support.
