Read the Bill

So no one read the stimulus before being forced to vote on it. Now, the Sunlight Foundation is encouraging Congress to enforce the 72-hour rule, which is the amount of time that is supposed to be offered for all bills to be subject to public scrutiny before taking a vote.

Having time to read a bill is such a minimum standard of conduct that it's embarrassing that Congress doesn't recognize it.

Read the bill, okay? - Politico.com
