The Cellar - View Single Post - Congress Refuses to Read Bills Before Voting

I voss elected to leeeeead, not to reeeeeead.

I like the idea of the proposal, but some of those bills are well over 1,000 pages, and couched in all sorts of cross-referenced hokey legalese, so (1) reading it in 72 hours is nigh on impossible and (2) a single reading won't reveal all the quirky loopholes in it.

Still, it sounds like a step forward.
