Thanks for you response. You have cleared up so much for me.Originally posted by Hallelujah View PostNever smile. What is there to smile about? The second coming is at nigh. Gays are taking over the world. Everyone wants to take my money. I hate my kids. Wish I had never gotten married. Fat people are destroying the planet with their gaseous outbursts. Am I missing anything?
What does make me smile, are posts like yours and others like yours. Actually it gives my friends and I a good laugh at the end of the day. To think folks like you are out there in our neighborhoods is hillarious.

So to answer my questions:Originally posted by PaloAltoCougar View PostCongresspersons can be familiar with a bill without having read the thing in its entirety. I've read a few bills in my day, and provided a congressman with fairly detailed summaries. But many bills are filled with a lot of technical crap that is often unimportant from a voting perspective. Good aides (and I acknowledge there are some bad ones) provide excellent bullet point summaries of the key provisions and enable the boss to consider the important details and not get mired in the trivial. Sometimes it might be well to read an entire bill; most of the time it's unnecessary.
Yes, no answer, yes, not enough to be worried about.
Is that accurate?
How much of a bill should a congressperson read themselves? And I ask again: how much reading would a congressperson have to do per day to read every bill that they were going to vote on?
