On the recordMarch 17, 2010
Not only confusing, but in the telephone town hall I did, I sense an anger and a frustration in the public. First of all we are told that you don't have to read the bill, just vote on it because we haven't even put the bill together. You don't have to read it. Now we are being told, not only you don't have to read it, you don't have to vote on it. That seems like the silliest thing I ever heard. And yet that is what is being talked about, about bringing a bill to the floor, you just vote for a rule instead of actually voting on the bill. And it is questionable whether it is even constitutional.
