Answer:
1. You write your state or federal senator about your idea.
2. Your congressman sponsors a bill.
3. The bill is sent to a Committee for its study.
4. If committee approves of the relevance and usefulness of the bill it is put on a schedule that will define the date when it will be debated, amended if necessary and/or voted.
5. The bill goes to the House for action.
6. If the bill is approved by the vote (simple majority) it is sent to the senate.
7. The bill goes through a similar process in the Senate and may be sent back to the House of Representatives if it has been changed. Then it is voted again by both chambers and sent to the president who will either veto it or sign it into law within ten days.
Both the Senate and the House have to agree on the final version of the bill and it is not uncommon for a bill to go back and forth between both chambers several times

Answer:
This case involves a federal death sentence imposed on defendant-appellant Fields for conviction of a federal capital offense. Fields was sentenced to death largely on the basis of the opinion of a psychiatrist who stated that he could confidently predict Fields would be dangerous in the future. The psychiatrist testified that he did not know of any "standard psychiatric or medical procedures used in arriving at a determination or predicting future dangerousness" and that he was unaware of specific empirical data or studies. He issued his opinion without engaging in any testing or any other objective measures or use of an actuarial method. His basis for this opinion was discussions with the prosecutors and review of some records regarding the defendant. The defense attorney objected to the testimony as unreliable under the standards for expert testimony established by the U.S. Supreme Court in Daubert v. Merrill Dow Pharmaceutical (i.e., that proffered evidence must be grounded in scientific reasoning or methodology). The district court overruled the objections and allowed the expert testimony to go to the jury.
