"The Read the Bills Act is legislation written by Downsize DC, a non-profit organization focused on decreasing the size of the federal government. The intention of the Read the Bills Act is to require Congress to read the legislation that they pass. The proposed act is a response to the passing of bills like the Patriot Act that are thousands of pages long and are passed without copies being made available to the members of Congress who vote on the bill. The bill is aimed at decreasing the size of government and the speed at which it grows."
The chance of anything like this being passed by Congress is somewhere between zero and nil. Sigh.
