WHO is writing this stuff IF NOT THEM?
On the Levin show, Jeff Sessions points to a huge problem that has developed. Congress now passes thousands of pages pieces of legislation that not even our representatives will admit to having read.
WHO is writing this stuff IF NOT THEM?
I'd be surprised if a simple majority of legislation is written by Congressional staff. Most of it comes from outside Congress, with the source varying depending on the subject matter. I know the various enemy conmbatant/detainee laws came out of the White House; business-related laws likely come out of K-street and the various alphabet-soup agencies.
Jeff Sessions / Constitutional Government bump for later...
Here is a hint:
The real legislators are the lobbyists and the bureaucrats on the senate and house staffs.
They write the legislation and tell the senators and house members how they should vote.
Then the senators and house members take a few minutes from peddling influence and soliciting campaign donations to vote for bills they have never read.
They do it because it works.
Who and how will this cycle be broken?
Passing legislation without reading or properly debating must STOP today!
What ever is WRONG with the Republicans?
Is there no adult supervision in our legislative body? Is there no common sense in our legislative body? Is there no need for the consent of the governed?
Right, quit passing them. Just vote them all down. The GOP has majorities in both the Senate and the House. If the commie Dems are passing such legislation, it is with the complicity of the GOP. They have the numbers to stop any legislation.
Bttt
“We can’t continue to keep passing massive pieces of legislations and laws we’re required to live under without knowing what’s in them”
A statement guaranteed to cause Cruz’s supporters to double down.
What is really needed is massive reform of this government monster and the repeal of these massive freedom killers called legislation. Furthermore, those responsible for initiating these infringements on the basic God-given rights of man should be held accountable under threat of scratchy ropes. These tyrants have got to go.
God bless Jeff Sessions. Why in God’s name would the GOP choose to fight on THIS issue that NO ONE is clamoring for save for some millionaires and billionaires. They have cowered on defunding Obamacontrol, EPA and amnesty, and headed for the hills every time attempts have been made to reign in mad spending. But THIS!!! They don’t care if there is a Republican left in Congress after 2016 as long as Obama is given free reign to execute this secretive deal which CANNOT wait for another year and a half. Please explain!

Short answer: Lawyers who represent world-wide special interest groups and governments.
Break it all down into one page segments and make then up/down vote on every damned single one of them, make the congress critters work for a living for once. And read every page before the vote and have several hours of debate per page.
Simple Rule CHange in the House would fix it:
ALL Legislation shall be read in to the Congressional Record on the Floor of the House by it’s Author, without pause, before any legislation may be considered. Any and ALL Amendments shall require a COMPLETE re-read of the legislation in question.
K Street lawyers.
The Pelosi card trick.
How I wish we could talk Jeff Sessions into running for President.
I know it’s a pipe dream, he does not want to run, but he is the man we need.
The CommieCrats of the socialist homo party, the Dimo-crats!!
