"Seems like the authors of the various sections of the bill ought to be called to explain parts that are not clear."

You don't want that. They might "explain" that it means x, when the legal language means y. You really want to understand the legal language and you shouldn't need someone to explain it to you.

The fact that they are having to "decipher" it, means it's was probably deliberately written to be overly complex to hide it's true meaning.

Absolutely. From the sounds of it, it's filled with things like "strike out the word 'and' from article 9, subsection 8b and 8c in section 127b". These kind of things are incredibly dangerous. Adding a single word, deleting a comma, or other things like that in some of these obscure sections of the U.S. code can completely change the nature of the underlying law. I've seen some like that before when attempting to decipher some of the crap coming out of the District of Criminals before.
