The following news item appeared on Monday, July 27, 2009, at CNSNews.com beneath the headline "Conyers Sees No Point in Members Reading 1,000-Page Health Care Bill--Unless They Have 2 Lawyers to Interpret It for Them"
During his speech at a National Press Club luncheon, House Judiciary Chairman John Conyers (D-Mich.), questioned the point of lawmakers reading the health-care bill.
“I love these members, they get up and say, ‘Read the bill,’” said Conyers.
“What good is reading the bill if it’s a thousand pages and you don’t have two days and two lawyers to find out what it means after you read the bill?”
Yes, John Conyers, a powerful elected official, said--proudly, with hot mics a-blazin'--that there's no point in reading President Obama's health-care-reform bill before voting it into law because it's too long and to read and too complicated to understand.
Obviously, Conyers is a buffoon. But fools such as he have always existed; if they hadn't, the Book of Proverbs wouldn't have warned us about the possibility of turning into them thousands of years ago. Those with the most to explain are the Michigan residents who have voted Conyers into power. In representative republics, we get what we vote for and therefore deserve what we get.
