Right Pundit Attempts to Read 1200-Page Cap-and-Trade Bill Before Friday’s Vote



"Because your representatives don't find it important to read the bills they vote on, I'm going to give the cap-and-trade bill a try myself. I'm posting my reading here (for as long as I can last), so they're welcome to watch in lieu of reading it themselves. Ha, what are the chances? The bill is 1,200 pages long, 300 of which were added in private deals, without the benefit of public hearings. And, it's not even available in its final form, which will emerge near the vote on Friday, and we'll likely never see it until it's passed," says Mary Katharine Ham.
