How can these people even vote on bills they know nothing about?

I see no point in John Conyers

If he doesn't read the bills, then what good is John Conyers? He's a waste of food and oxygen. Someone else could use those resources to actually help society.

He's no John Connor LOL. At

He's no John Connor LOL. At least he's on Hr1207 I think.

I thought most were already lawyers

so it takes 2 more. What chance do the rest of us have?

I would vote against anything that I could not read and understand. Clearly, these people could not care what they pass as long as they stay where they are.

"It will be of little avail to the people that the laws are made by men of their own choice if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood."

--James Madison, Federalist 62

MAXIM(s) of Law... a maxim is a commonly agreed upon truth in law.

"No one should be judge in his own cause."
"Nothing against reason is lawful"
"Laws should bind their own maker."

When we get the country back this needs to be an ammendment to the Constitution (organic).
we can let the lawyers choose...

No LAWYER shall ever take part in ENACTING any LAW!
OR
No one ever having been a LAWYER shall be eligible as a JUDGE.

(JUDGE) shall be defined to include but but not be limited to Judge, Magistrate, Arbitrator, Presiding over any trial of the people.
(LAWYER) shall be defined as anyone practicing law or having ever belonged to any BAR association.
(LAW) shall include but is not limited to; codes, regulations, laws.
(ENACTING) defined as voting, conferrring, discussing, or any external influence no matter the degree. (The opposite of ANY IS NONE.)

The Liberty a society retains is inversely proportional to the number of Lawyers in the Government.

yeah...

then logic would dictate that if you cant comprehend what you are attaching your vote for, you should vote it down.

The scary part is that he represents most Congresspeople.

Most admit they don't read the legislation. If they don't read a bill because it is to long, then they should vote against it. If a bill is to long to read, then write a shorter, easier understood bill. How tough is this to figure out?

Lol, exactly

"If a bill is to long to read, then write a shorter, easier understood bill. How tough is this to figure out?".

As long as they vote it

As long as they vote it down, I don't care whether they try to read it. It is sure to be incomprehensible in any event. If it takes two lawyers to translate it, it will take thousands of them to fight over it in court for generations to come.
