Shame on You, Rep. Simpson

From The Idaho Statesman:

Three members of Congress want the Justice Department to investigate whether college football’s Bowl Championship Series is an illegal enterprise.

Reps. Neil Abercrombie, D-Hawaii, Lynn Westmoreland, R-Ga., and Mike Simpson, R-Idaho, are introducing a resolution rejecting the oft-criticized bowl system as an illegal restriction on trade. The resolution would require Justice’s antitrust division to investigate whether the system violates federal law.

The measure also would put Congress on record as supporting a college football playoff.
This is just ridiculous. Our supposed conservative representative is attempting insert Congress into college football.

Thankfully this demonstrates there's nothing serious that the House should be concerning itself with...borders must be secure, tax code is just and simple, armed forces are standing around with nothing to do, civil liberties are intact and flourishing...
