I really try to stay up on things political, and one of the means available to me is CSPAN

Now, every time a bill or ammendment is proposed, the clerk starts to read and someone calls out, "Mr President, I ask that the reading be suspended", to which the response is, "Pursuant to blah blah blah .. the reading is suspended">

OK ... when the vote comes up, some patriot needs only protest the suspension of the reading and demand the full reading.

Saul Alinsky ... use their own rules against them.

Before you sign it — read it!

You are correct in your understanding. I'll take it one step further though. To suspend the reading of bills requires unanymous consent. What that means, in essense, is that both the republicans and democrats are in on this scam. Any representative can force a full read according to the rules that have been in place for decades. Ever wonder why they never do? 

We are being scammed by thre demopublican party and are being sold into slavery by their malfeasance.
