All they have to do is object to the unanimous reading consent and the bill has to be read. But Congress is too F’n lazy to do anything but talk on TV shows. There is not a single person in Congress that with courage to force the reading of the entire bill.

Vacations and talk shows are more important.

Bingo. Most people have no idea how the rules work. All it takes is one single senator to object , and the entire bill has to be read, word for word.
