The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Griffin, 884 F.2d 655 (2nd Cir. 1989):
These appeals present us with two separate but related issues. The first is the traditionally judicial one of statutory interpretation, i.e., did the statute originate as a bill for raising revenue. The second involves a review of the legislative process, an issue that courts prefer to avoid if possible. See Coleman v. Miller, 307 U.S. 433, 469-70, 59 S.Ct. 972, 989, 83 L.Ed. 1385
