Democratic Representatives Jim McDermott of Washington, David Bonior of Michigan, and Mike Thompson of California, committed treason in January 2003 by traveling to Iraq to provide Saddam Hussein with "aid and comfort", at Saddam's expense, after Congress had authorized the use of military force against Iraq.
Paul is one of the few of our leaders that I like but I have to agree with you on how would there be proof that members have read the bill. But he did bring up a good point about the Senate rule of bills being posted on line for 48 hours before a vote. I think we could agree that the Senate should follow their own rule?
I have a better solution
Publicize the names of the members who don't read the bills they vote on. Let their constituents know, if they still vote them in, then they deserve each other
If a legislator holds an office and fails to faithfully perform his duty, isn't he guilty of criminal misconduct?
I may be mistaken, but voting on bills unread appears to be a dereliction of duty, and should be severely punished.
Well, at least if convicted them, then it could be truthfully said that our representatives had convictions.
LOL
