Not one of the 435 members read the whole monstrosity -- because the leadership dropped 300 new pages on their desks the night before they voted.

This is the way the Democrats have governed. Mysterious forces in the background prepare legislation. Reid and Pelosi persuade the Democrat majority to vote for the legislation before they have even read it.

This is not representative democracy. This is tyranny. We must get the Democrats out of power and make sure they never get in power again.

I’d personally like to see a rule inserted into the constitution that a member of congress can only vote on a bill...if he signs it and says he actually read the bill. And a second rule ought to be considered...limiting bills to just 100 pages or less. I think this 1000-plus page era....is a joke. Would we write a 2,700 page Constitution today? Is this what the technology age has brought us....1,000 plus-page bills?
