I've recently (and repeatedly) heard the argument there's nothing in the Constitution that says legislators must read bills and amendments before voting on them.
Of course there isn't. The Framers assumed that Congress would read them. How can you vote on a bill if you don't know what's in it?
Apparently, reading is not a priority for most Senators.
I'm... gonna let Senator Conyers speak for himself here. And... isn't he a lawyer?
