This level of attention is what you should expect from congress when they are discussing our laws. #mepolitics #TWPSB #Readthebill #bond2018https://twitter.com/KatyTurNBC/status/956182757318823938 …

We should not elect ANYONE who does not demonstrate a capacity to read laws and does not appear to enjoy doing so. That's *the* job. I wish everyone would take a step back from positions to notice many of our legislators are not proficient in the basic skills of the job. #TWPSB

If someone has not read and/or does not understand the text of a bill and the consequences that flow from that bill, then their opinions on positions are moot...because they cannot tell you if the bill accurately reflects those positions or addresses their championed problems.

So your job interview questions should go like this: 1. Have you ever read a federal bill start to finish. If no, #byefelicia If yes, then... 2. What did you like/dislike about it and why? More than what their opinion is, do they seem to understand it? Can they explain it?

Can they explain it in ways that you understand and are reasonable? If no to any of these, #byefelicia If yes, then... 3. Pick a bill topic you actually care about and ask above questions. If they haven't read it, ask them to read something on it an reconvene.

If they have read it and the answer is no to any of the above, #byefelicia If yes, then... 4. How do you handle conflicts in ideology? If they cannot give a reasonable answer, #byefelicia If the answer is reasonable, then...
