Anyone out there know? And I'll bet the excuse then for not reading it was because "it was too long to make any sense out of it." Gosh, ya know, if the bills are too long to make any sense out of them, maybe they're TOO long, and maybe they should be passed as a series of bills that even the toad brains that supposedly know how to run the country can understand. And, if they can't understand it, like my dear ol' daddy used to say about signin' a contract, if ya don't understand it, it ain't for you.

One could place this responsibility upon a group of chimpanzees and achieve the same result. This is exactly why the electorate is fuming. If the people we elected to represent our interests have no idea what is actually in the legislation then who is running our government? It certainly isn’t us. This goes way beyond right or left, Democrat or Republican, this is an American issue. We the people are at risk of losing our liberty to an increasingly tyrannical government that is bent on usurping the authority of the electorate. When the politicians in Washington D.C. no longer fear us then we are in deep trouble and that is exactly where we find ourselves today. We had better wake up to what is going on in the nation’s capitol before it is too late.

For crying out loud, if the legislators can't understand the laws, how can they expect the common folks out here to understand them? Seems to me to be a reasonable defense for an innovative defense lawyer.
