Easter Eggs

When a piece of legislation exceeds 1000 pages, perusal frequently yields easter eggs. Thanks to Mark Steyn for this one from the Senates comprehensive immigration bill:
For example, Section 5(b)(1):

    Not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall establish a strategy, to be known as the ‘Southern Border Fencing Strategy’ . . .

On the other hand, Section 5(b)(5):

    Notwithstanding paragraph (1), nothing in this subsection shall require the Secretary to install fencing .
An excellent essay as usual.
