Wow, an honest, reasonable Republican. I thought we lost the last one of those when Chuck Hagel retired.

I don't see a problem with saying that nobody reads the legislative language. I only wish that the "plain English" versions were released alongside the legislative language version of every bill. That way, those rare individuals (OCD sufferers?) who actually -can- pull clarity out of the complexity could comb it over and holler about issues that don't match.

if its incomprahensable then you would need to make it so it was comprehensible , or you would expect all people who would be expected to read it to be trained to be able to do so.

I bet its more comprahendable than programming in asembaly or evan programming in C and manny hudreds of thousends of people are capable of doing that , because its there job and its required for them to be able to procide with important things they have to do.

A legislator who chooses not to (or can't?) read legislative language? Does anyone here see the irony in that? Who are the people that can read it? And why aren't they in office then?
