re: By the way, we should INSIST that these bills be written in PLAIN LANGUAGE that is easily understood.
Amen! In addition to the actual language of the bill there should be a simple explanation of the intention of bill.
And then I come to my senses and I hear a far away voice saying, “Dream on!”
“By the way, we should INSIST that these bills be written in PLAIN LANGUAGE that is easily understood.”
Don’t be silly! Obfuscation is the object.
It makes absolutely no sense to post bills online before they are voted on. I don’t think that it even makes sense to post them AFTER they have become law. Why? Because nobody understands them anyways. And plain language laws are a joke because they are highly subject to misinterpretation. Simple words make for simple thoughts. And the law is no place for simple thoughts. Period.
I probably know a lot more than most readers about this issue. But I won’t get into that at this point. We can dialogue for a bit.
Also, briefly, the framers would have never approved such an idea. Do you understand where I am coming from now?
