and a great editorial on the subject !!!

“If every member pledged to not vote for it if they hadn’t read it in its entirety, I think we would have very few votes,’’ he said. The majority leader was declaring, in other words, that it is more important for Congress to pass the bill than to understand it."

Pretty sad, and the last sentence of this editorial is addressed to us the voter, whether Republican or Democra or Independent....

"Steny Hoyer chortles at the thought of asking members of Congress to do their job properly. It’s up to voters to wipe the grin off his face."
