At 1,075 pages long, it’s not the biggest bill to come through in recent years — that honor still belongs to the health care law — but the immigration legislation pending in the Senate is challenging the ability of voters to get their brains around its complexity.

I’ve read that Schumer and Graham are authors, but this thing is as long as Atlas Shrugged which took years to write. Yet these bills crop up out of nowhere. People talk about them, then they just show up as if materializing from another dimension. So do the “authors” really know what’s in them themselves? How could they? It’s not possible they actually wrote the text. Schumer and Graham aren’t sitting down at typewriters cranking these things out.

If they ever rewrote the Constitution, what would that be like? Whatever, Harry Reid would schedule a vote without anybody being able to read it. They’d have to pass it to find out what’s in it, like they do with everything else they vote on.

So it should be politically safe to vote against a thousand page piece of legislation. Just tell the truth. The vote was forced before anybody had a chance to review it. And it should be safe to vote against such a bill if people do have time to read it. There’s bound to be something in there to justify a no vote. No bill that size should ever pass. Never.
