//WASHINGTON – Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wisc., forced the Senate to begin reading all
628 pages of President Joe Biden's $
1.9 trillion COVID bill aloud on the Senate floor Thursday, further delaying a vote on the legislation Democrats hope to make law by next week.
Johnson said his tactic was about “educating” the American public on what was in the $1.9 trillion package, which he has derided as full of provisions unrelated to COVID relief. The entire process could take at least 10 hours.
He told reporters Thursday he felt badly for the Senate clerks who are going to “have to read it,” but it was “important” to delay the process and read the bill aloud because “so often we rush these massive bills” which few lawmakers have time to read.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said Johnson's move would "accomplish little more than a few sore throats for the Senate clerks who work very hard day in, day out to help the Senate function."\\
Scummy schumer squealing about hard work day in and day out to help the senate function. Is that what they call it? Functioning for them but the hell with the people.
628 pages? I guess it's true that if you can't dazzle them with brilliance then baffle them with bullshyte. The swamp is alive and well with all kinda slimey creatures.
