They have to "read" the bill three times, so they introduce it, immediately adjourn and then restart in a "new legislative day"

5. Will someone wake me when the debate is over? |
|
After Sunday, and the entire past year, I have to honestly say that at this point, everything that can be said has been said, the debate will change no one's mind, and my mute button is getting worn out. I just want the vote.
You can rouse me if anyone says 'fuck' or 'baby killer' but not 'constitution' or 'government takeover.'
