And BTW, it's their JOB to read these bills. We don't pay them to make stupid remarks on television. That is not what I learned from my high school Social Studies teacher. We were taught that the House and Senate were subdivided into committees. Legislators were expected to be expertly knowledgeable only about the bills reported out of their committees, not all bills. The "READ THE BILL!" rablle rouserrs are just displaying their own stupidity and ignorance. Why have them all vote, if they have no clue what they are voting for? It would be suffecient to have those "expertly knowledgeable only about the bills" vote for the entire congress...... The representatives of the people do not need to read the legal version in order to be fully aware of what is in the bill. The American people should also have a PLAIN TALK version of the bill. The "expertly knowledgeable are on the committees that draft the bill and haggle out This is what the Church did to elevate its self above the common people. Latin was used to exclude the people.... Now you want our government to become elitist. When the Constitution was written it was plain text that we could understand. It had to be ratified and accepted by the people. what is in the bill in the committees. The market up version is then ready for debate and amendment. The knowledge of what is in the version "reported out" of the committee and of all the proposed amendments are the responsibility of the caucus that will assign different staff members and House members to each such task in order to produce a more intelligible shorter version of the legalese. -- *BE VERY CONCERNED* Media policy is... the only good news is bad news. |
