In my opinion, they shouldn't have to read a bill to vote AGAINST it, A single sentence can make a bill worthy of defeat! By regulation or law, they should have to certify in writing that they have read an entire bill before voting FOR it!
Good point, however, if I am a representative, I will read a bill in it’s entirety even if I plan to vote against it, so i can see how the other side plays. we need to be informed about what their beliefs are and see who the earmarks are going for in these monster bills to see whose buttering the bread. Some of these things are done under the radar, that’s why these reps are so shocked right now, because so many real citizens have researched the bill and know more about it than they do.
