(A) doesn't appear to be changing in a substantive way. It adds the (B)...which is a problem, we'll get to that. Subchapter is changed to title, section number has changed, but it may be the same language. The key word here is "futile". Before we get to that, let's sidebar.pic.twitter.com/IQeAEOqXRj

Lots of law can have multiple references. It's sort of a bother for referencing/cross-referencing. Looking it all up is an excellent thing to outsource (and would certainly speed up my reading from my present meandering stroll).

I'm not verifying here because I've already decided this is bad enough I wouldn't vote for it. I'll cover the rest of the highlights, but it's time consuming and my guess if that these differences aren't the flaming torches.

It is a completely reasonable expectation for your federal delegation to outsource perfunctory tasks. It is also reasonable to have interns, staffers, other knowledge sources read and give feedback on bills. Heck, make a bill book club!

It is *not* reasonable at any point in time to vote on something you haven't read when that is your job. Right now, lots of reps are doing that. It's not ok. Demand more. Demand proficiency in bill-reading and a commitment to read every single thing they vote on. Every. One.
