He thinks Congress should READ bills before they vote on them!
That would be revolutionary!
Nancy Pelosi described the process when she said, “We have to pass the bill to find out what’s in it”. As ridiculous as that sounds, it’s what happens in the halls of Congress.
Senator Rand Paul has introduced a bill that would allow time for Senators to actually READ the bills prior to voting. His proposal would allow a one day wait for each 20 pages of any legislation introduced. Some people believe Paul’s proposal should go even farther, allowing MORE time before a vote could take place. More time would allow the public to see legislation and give input BEFORE a vote is taken.
Imagine that!
Democrats passed Obamacare without opportunity for debate or examination. Now, Senate Republicans are doing the same thing with their SECRET HEALTH CARE BILL. Senate leader McConnell is saying there will be a vote next week, and most Senators have not seen the bill.
Senator Paul’s proposal is really an exercise in futility (sadly). There is little or no chance the Senate will approve his bill.
It’s just how the system works (or doesn’t).
