To: Blood of Tyrants

According to senate rules if even 1 senator wants the bill read it must be read 3 times on the senate floor. All 1500 pages must be read aloud 3 times. In order to wave the reading of the bill the vote must be unanimous. Any 1 senator on our side can slow this down immensely just by asking for the obligatory reading.
