Does Leahy even know how to read ?
The large print edition was not available at the time of passage.
If they aren’t going to read the bills why do we need them? You could train a monkey to push a “yea” or “nay” button. I know, I know, you will say that won’t because of the smell...but I believe those monkeys would get used to it.
He’s legally blind in one eye. Apparently it’s his reading eye.
If I were in Congress I might not read every bill. I would have someone I trusted provide me with an even handed “view graph” summary of every bill. The summaries could be prepared in cooperation with other members of Congress. I would want thorough breifing. I would also try to solicit inputs from as many key stakeholders as possible, outlining their concerns. Most stakeholders are well represented in Washington by lobbyist and this would be a legitimate way for them to earn a living.
That's what staffers are for.
Probably not.
This is what you get when the country is run by lawyers at every level.
The Constitution is one of the greatest documents ever written and it doesn’t take a degree to understand it.
This wonderful country could return to greatness if we insist that EVERY law passed by Congress be easily understood by laypeople....
Quick!! Vote him out! Give him his pick of queers and vote him out!!! He’ll likely appreciate you for it.
Since there were no pictures he passed.
It doesn’t matter. He would have Leaked all over it anyway.
I doubt that the “plow through every line” approach would be particularly useful. My way would certainly be.
MY employee would be fired....
This wonderful country could return to greatness if we stop electing lawyers.
Forces other than our legislature are writing laws and then bribing our representatives to vote one way or the other on them. Our system has failed. It’s corrupt.

Hard to imagine we have such utter incompetent, ignorant morons leading this country into the abyss... the Founding Fathers must be shaking their heads in disbelief.
Nor apparently were the "Cliff Notes"
