Rep Jones defends a tactical maneuver that would prevent the full House from amending a bill that is on the floor. 'Titles" of bills cannot be changed on the floor without suspending the rules, and the contents of bills cannot conflict with the title....so by tightly stating the title (normally several words but in this case nearly two pages long) the bill could not be amended by the full House...this is 'democracy', North Carolina style with Democrats controlling the General Assembly
