not all the boilerplate, but you really want each and every congressman to read some percentage of the boilerplate in each and every piece of legislation before you will say they are doing their job?
What percent of each and every bill do YOU think that each and every congressman needs to read?
Are you suggesting that you are NOT comfortable with the system whereby committee chairs and ranking members along with their committee staffs brief non-committee members of congrsss on legislation that has been voted out of their committee?
How do you think it should be divied up? No one reads it, just vote, yes? Read the first paragraph, then vote, yes? Tead 1/3? I mean, what is ok in your world?
In mine, the freaking joe's shouls read, that's what we're paying them to do. If they won't, then we should revisit direct democracy. Whoops, that won't work, so let's just segue directly into facism and stop the nonsense.
