Reading B cubed Aloud
Timothy Birdnow
so chuck-a-Burger Schumer has the entire Big Beautiful Bill being read on the floor of the Senate. Now why do you suppose that is?
It means it's going to pass and he needs time to work on people who might vote for it.
This is unusal but not outside of the rules. In fact ALL bills ought to be read aloud (and all Senators should be forced to be present or not allowed to vote on them) so everyone is clear what is in it. We should never have to pass a bill to see what's in it, as Pelosi said of Obamacare in the House.
That would also cut the size of these bills way down.
But the point is this is a measure of desperation by Chuckles and it shows the B cubed will pass.

You're absolutely right. Not only should the bills be read aloud (so Senators such as Patty Murray be able to understand them) but there should be a time limit imposed: if it takes longer than one hour to read a bill it should be cut down to that length. Or whatever size; but bills such as Obamacare, which you mentioned, were way too long and unwieldy.

Agreed. Look at the Constitution; just a couple of pages to create the entire government. Now we have bills that are thousands and thousands of pages long and nobody even knows what is in them. It's insane.
