Conyers: Lazy & Dangerous
Congressman John Conyers, Democrat of Michigan:
“I love these members, they get up and say, ‘Read the bill,’” said Conyers.
“What good is reading the bill if it’s a thousand pages and you don’t have two days and two lawyers to find out what it means after you read the bill?”
Yeah, it's no good.

Which of course leads to the next obvious suggestion: "Members of congress, WRITE the bills you pass." Enough of this staff committee bullcrap. You've invited lobbyists into the halls of congress to do the job you were elected to do and apparently now consider to be beneath your dignity. Let's shine the full light of day on whichever trolls are WRITING this crap.
"Too big to read?" Too big to pass into law.
