Attitude adjustment required

Just saw a clip on FNC showing Rep. John Conyers (I believe) speaking about not reading legislation before voted on. He was poo-pooing the idea, saying something like it would take 2 days and 2 lawyers to go through it. Well DUH! That's what you get paid for stupid. Hey, here's a thought. Quit writing 1000 page bills that can't be read and fully understood BEFORE voting to pass into law. Why do Americans keep electing these idiots?

I saw the same thing and thought it was a strange thing to say.

his staff is too busy babysitting his kids to help interpret the bills anyway.

Term limits are needed. I bet they all work hard in the beginning and in the end are just reeping the rewards of the power.

Any representative who would willingly sign legislation based on his party's wishes without reading it is not representing his constituency and deserves to be removed. The fact that he makes no attempt to hide it shows that he doesn't represent, or even care what his constituents think or want. He is guilty of malfeasance, they should demand his resignation immediately.
