My point is that should a member of this committee table a motion challenging the chair's ruling that this amendment is out of order because it's beyond the scope of the bill we're studying, and should the committee adopt that motion, thereby allowing this amendment, and should the committee then actually adopt the amendment itself, if it goes to the House and the House in its wisdom determines that it will allow that amendment to stand, would that create jurisprudence that would then provide that any time a member brings before committee an amendment that is beyond the scope of the actual bill being studied, the amendment would automatically be admissible?
