Make a cooler diff chooser

[GraylinKim]

See this mock up of the chooser I have in mind. Just click on two nodes for the bills you want to diff and watch it update in real time.

My Javascript foo isn't so great, but I'm pretty sure we can do this. Anyone else have a thought here?

That looks awesome. I can take a look this weekend.

Great, looking forward to seeing if we can do something like this. @stefancrain do you have and design feedback before he gets started?

In the last 4 years we had the following distribution of amendments in the Senate:

• 16,000+ bills introduced
• 3713 bills with 1 amendment (e.g. S39-2011)
• 910 bills with 2 amendments (e.g. S149-2011)
• 264 bills with 3 amendments (e.g. S7033-2011)
• 78 bills with 4 amendments (e.g. S419-2011)
• 19 bills with 5 amendments (e.g. S1803-2011)
• 5 bills with 6 amendments (e.g. S5149-2011)
• 1 bills with 7 amendments (e.g. S3296-2009)
• 1 bill with 8 amendments (e.g. S3296-2009)

So as long as it scales cleanly to 5 or 6 amendments and works for 6+ I think we should be fine.
