voting on a bill without reading it should be a crime.
Bttt amen!!
at 2700+ pages, who the heck could read it in its entirety and understand every aspect of it to the degree necessary to give informed consent?
“$105 billion of direct funding of Obamacare that completely bypasses the normal government funding process that Congress oversees”
Yet Boehner continues to roll over for the very perpetrators of this unconstitutional monstrosity by agreeing to fund it through continuing resolutions. Talk about kicking the can down the road. If ever there was a reason to shut down the government this is it.
Treason at the very least. This is evil, pure and simple twisted evil!
Right, so making it a crime to vote on a bill you haven’t read would preclude 2700-page bills.
Just don’t think the pubs, with their current leadership have the nuts to pull the trigger.
. They rigged Obamacare specifically to thwart you from stopping it
Sums it up. We need protection from government. Boehner needs to step up.
“Just don’t think the pubs, with their current leadership have the nuts to pull the trigger.”
You’re right, and that’s why they need to be replaced. They talked a big game during the election but then went back to RINO business as usual. Time to clean House — again.
They will not. They have already capitulated and will end up raising taxes. They are collaborators with the Democrats and are simply trying to save a failed and doomed system they helped to create. Don’t be fooled again or you will end up in government housing like the blacks that trusted the Democrats.
Violation of oath of office!
Immediate removal, incarceration, and reparations are in order!
Near the end of it, I wrote, "If Obamacare is allowed to go forward, there will be little need for Congressman or Senators, save to clap their hands loud and long when Dear Leader demeans himself to address a joint session of Congress."
I’m not so sure that making it a crime is a good idea.
Voting on a bill you have not read, is bad practice, but criminal? I don’t think so.
However, the transactional immunity given lawmakers for bad policy decisions should be revisited.
Let them face the tort courts with the results of their foolish decisions. Show yourself harmed by Congresscritter X’s vote and take him to civil court and make him personally financially responsible.
I’m not so sure that that is a good idea either, but it’s somewhere in between criminal and immunity.
How come we’re just learning about this now?
Republicans need to rescind Obamacare funding:

Waivers of the law to specific groups, seems unconstitutional. Lawless administration.
It’s criminal to vote on a bill you haven’t read.
If they cannot read the bill they are not fit for office.
The people who made America did not intend for legislators who did not read bills. They would have made it illegal to not read bills, but the idea would have been ridiculous.
2700-page bills are only that size as a TOOL OF OPPRESSION.
Everyone be sure and call. Sit on them. We are tired of their sneaky ways.
