This bill is 2232 pages long, jam packed with issues.
If you devoted only one minute to each page, without a single cross reference, bathroom break, meal, or nap, you'd be in 37.2 straight hours.
Do you think @RepPoliquin read it before voting on it today?

I don't think most of them read it...which is part of why I am running. You shouldn't vote on things you haven't read when that is your job. Do you think it should be different?

I would be happy to share my thoughts on this ,once you answer my question. By the way, the way these bills are constructed A few hours is plenty of time to digest what's inside. The things that would be missed would take most people weeks or years to decipher.

I would humbly disagree that a few hours is plenty of time to digest a 2,232 page bill. Even if I just needed to barely glance at some pages to make sure they were free of typos without considering the impact of the words, I would not feel comfortable with that short of time.

Not overly concerned with your comfort, but the reality is there's no amount of time that the average lawmaker/person could read 2200 pages and find all the pork buried in it by , the legal terms and bureaucratic lingo involved make it near impossible.

I don't know that I agree with that in its entirety. I certainly could parse a 2200+ page bill given sufficient time and probably catch most of the folly in it...but I've also been reading bills for around a decade. They are absolutely very technical documents.
