Odd, this has been online since January 20th.

Minus a few changes here and there by the Senate, there is the bulk of your bill.

Sounds like a bunch of whining by people who didn't do their jobs.

Note he says there is no "complete" copy. As I posted above, the bulk of this bill was released a month ago. Plus if the argument is that they didn't have enough time to read it, Bohner gave the speech about not having time to read it at around 1:30 eastern time in the afternoon, it was released around midnight giving them 13 and 1/2 hours to read it. That would be on average about 77 pages an hour. But again you would assume they would not have to read nearly that much, as the bulk of the bill was out there a long time ago. Say the senate changed half of the bill, which is extremely generous, that would put it around 550 pages over 13 and 1/2 hours, which would have been 40.7 pages an hour. This is merely whining.

You're assuming they left 500 pages as-is and then tacked on another 500. Maybe, just maybe, wording in the first 500 was changed? Is it possible?

This happens with almost all legislation. This is why democracy fails.

I anticipate learning about more terrible new laws that came wit this bill over the next few weeks. But now it's too late.
