Yet again, the Congressman from Detroit shows his utter disrespect for his position in government and his complete disregard for the wellbeing of his constituents back home. Worse, this jerk is chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, too.
Yesterday, CNSNews.com and others reported:
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?”
Remember, now, Conyers has been in Congress for a couple decades and currently chairs the House Judiciary Committee. So, one would think, he is probably trained well enough to know his job description.
It is both the duty and responsibility of each member of congress to read and understand every aspect of every bill long before voting on it. If they do not, then simply put, they are negligent and should be charged as such.
