Does anybody in the f***ing Congress ever read the Constitution? The 27th Amendment prohibits an immediate pay raise...there must be an election before it takes effect...so the voters can reject the selfish scum.

READ the 2nd paragraph.

Good point, but the 27th amendment states that Congress cannot grant itself pay raises in the middle of the term of each respective Congresscritter. Did you check the "yeas" and "nays" to see if those who voted against it were in the middle or the end of their terms? (I didn't , but it might be interesting)
