I sponsored this legislation because I believe it is of utmost importance to ensure that legislators do not receive special treatments or privileges or exemptions from laws, economic regulations, et cetera.

I agree wholeheartedly with this...was there any particular issue Scott that you had in mind when proposing this?

The Congressional insider trading scandal and the draft debate both helped inspire this.

Crap, well now how the hell am I supposed to make more money?

Now, for a stupid question, that does end up being a real one. It's a bit fetched, but does this interfer with office holding? Because if I remember correctly, someone recently held duel offices on the Cabinet level, where as it isn't allowed regionally. I ask this because the Amendment itself is pretty vague, and I think it would probably be best to fix it, or close loop holes before it gets any further.

I wasn't aware of this.  Isn't dual office-holding already prohibited by the Constitution?

Is this an amendment?  If so, it is friendly.

Can't this be currently construed as saying that every citizen is entitled to the same compensation as a Senator?

Not with TJ's amendment, I wouldn't think so.
