The probnlem I have with even that is if the bill is a bad bill, and you vote against it, even if you haven’t read it, is that even the right thing to do???

If it hasnt' been read, it should be voted against, because you don't know, even if you know the gist of it, whether there are some little gotcha's like "take granny out behind the barn and shoot her" in there.

I'm not being overly stringent, I don't think. Each of these critters has a staff, probably a large staff. If one of each of the critter's ten top people reads 100 pages and explains it to the critter, that's 1000 pages, and the critter can legitimately make a claim to have read it.
