Any law that is longer than what can be read and understood by the average educated citizen in five minutes or less is an attempt to hide provisions detrimental to the public.

Well, not exactly, the SUMMARY at the end of the bill is what needs to be simple, reflective and concise.

I assume you are referring to a bill itself, an act...the actual pages of legislative language...

I would posit that every bill ever considered would not fit your parameters, for if it changes a word or adds a definition, or refers to an existing statute(s) it may change the language of ten or twenty pieces of text of the existing law-books. All of those "revisions" are required to be in the bill, making it many pages longer than the actual intent.

If you go to the back page of the bill and read the summary first (hopefully in less than five minutes) it should be fairly easy to understand. Then, if you want to pull your hair out, go back and dig into the actual confusing nuts and bolts of the bill.

Almost without fail, you will see "old language" struck-out much like happens here on FR, and the "new language" underlined. Pages and pages and pages of it.

Who are the members of this “Gang of Eight?”

Rubio (R) FL
McCain (R) - AZ
Lindsey Graham (R) - SC
Jeff Flake (R) - AZ...

With two AZ Republicans in the "gang", it's hard to see why they aren't making it more like the Arizona Immigration plan.

From the Dem side, it's Schumer - NY, Menendez - NJ, Durbin - ILL, and Bennett - CO

it may take the blood of many country men to set it straight again.

I was thinking the city-men would be losing the most blood.

What I find interesting is all the open border rino backers of FR who pushed McCain and trashed J.D. Hayworth along with all freepers who opposed McCain. Blood is on their hands.

I think it goes deeper than that. There is something going on that makes republicans uninterested in widespread vote fraud and the future ability to control elections that democrats will secure with amnesty.

Well yes, we in the country do have all the guns don’t we? ;)

15 years ago I moved 15 miles out of the city. 10 years ago I moved 10 miles past that, 5 years ago 10 more miles, last year 10 more..

The city and it’s BS keep creeping my way. Soon, I’ll just pack up and leave the state.
