Video: One congressman starts reading porkulus

Not the Cliff Notes version.
Republican Study Committee chair Rep. Tom Price sat down with the 1,073-page porkulus conference report this morning at 9am. Hope he’s a speed reader!

Truly terrifying sight.
Now if we could have a rep ask for the formal reading before the vote
Good luck to you, Senator. Porkulus Maximus is bound to be a very dry read.
Gulp, see you next week!!!!
Agree with the formal reading … That will plug the pipes up.
The bill should be read on the floor of the house.
word by word,page by page.
BEFORE THE VOTE !!!
“The Price is right” “Porkulus is wrong”

Can’t, pelosi has a prior engagement any delay would conflict with.
The woman is crazy. No doubt.
Hangfire I thought Hawaii didn’t have tornadoes???
This is an absolute disgrace!
The House is debating H res 168 the rule for the bill right now and it includes a line that the bill is considered read when it his the House floor
Hmmm… handwritten notes on a legal document, with no annotation of who made the changes?
Uh… Congress? We have the technology for moderated documents, online, which can be modified, and it will show not only changes, but who made them, when they were made, and can have comment fields about that change…
Transparency???
Over 1000 pages received after 11pm last night.
Might as well just throw darts at a board.
If Dems followed the example of their dear leader,
They would vote “Present” for this bill!
Is that legal?
We need to stage a sit down until the whole darn thing is read in full by everyone, including those who voted for these people. What will it take for Congress to HEAR WHAT THE PEOPLE ARE SAYING?
debate on the rule is done voting on the rule in progress
There was supposed to be 48 hours to review the bill but that was basically thrown away, not sure of how they did that.
It’ll pass with plenty of room – but not one Republican better vote for it. I hereby pledge to donate to the campaigns of conservative challengers to every RINO who votes for this mess.
The four pdf files are available at the House Committee on Rules
If this rule is adopted there will be a 90 minute debate on the actual bill.
There are a total of three procedural votes before they get to the actual debate on the bill itself.
This thing is almost the same number of pages as Stephen King’s “The Stand” and ten times as horrifying!
The last time we had “taxation without representation”, the results were slightly different.
If only our Congressmen, heck, just one Congressman, would point out the unconstitutionality of this bill, all aspects of this bill that aren’t covered by the enumerated powers, we’d be in a much better position. It’d force the
DemocratsMarxists to admit that they don’t care what the Constitution states, which should prod the courts into action upon passage of this bill.We, as Americans, shouldn’t even be talking about the economics aspect of this bill until we know if it’s constitutional or not. If we claim to be a Constitutional Republic, then we need to start with the Constitution, not economics or pragmatism. The Marxists have won the cultural hegemony. They’ve convinced people that the Constitution is a “living, breathing, open” document (much the same as they’ve convinced most Christians the same goes for the Bible). That’s why, even on sites as “conservative” as this one and Hotair, the only political arguments we see are pragmatist arguments vs. arguments based upon our bedrock document: the Constitution.
I don’t know the rules of the congress, but all I can say in response to this administration and congress is, do exactly like the dems do when not in power…OBSTRUCT, OBSTRUCT, OBSTRUCT.
Pssshaw. That little thing?
If someone give you or me a check and we cross out the amount and write a higher amount we will go to prison.
Well, the first thing he does in the video is call the package the “non-stimulus” bill, so I’m not sure why he’d have to ’speedread’ it. His mind was already made up.
Like I said the other day.. It’s an Oligarchy now.. They don’t care what us lowly people think. The have the power now, & the only way to remove them is the old fashion way..
Everyone should please stop capitalizing congress and senate. there is nothing capital about them
Dr. Price is my congressman. I’m very proud of how he’s done since getting there…he’s truly a voice for conservatism.
That’s my rep also! We need more like him!
don’t forget Dr. Coburn from OK…
Dr. Price is a great congressman. I used to live in his district. Solid conservative. At least my congressman now [Bob Inglis] didn’t wimp out as he is prone to do at times.
Stand your ground. This type of bullying tactics that the “progressives” are undertaking can only bring them down once the obvious disaster comes. Too bad the country will have to endure the hard times in the meantime…
President is celebrating his quote “Victory”, so the news reports. Pretty easy to get a victory when all decorum and procedure are ignored and all opposition locked out. It doesn’t take any leadership to lie , all the while, doing just the opposite. What happened to President of all the people.
In my own back yard I look at Governor Kane, Senators Web and Warner, and my non Representative Nye and wonder just what their rewards for going along with a high speed sprint to the extreme left is.
Hope Pelosi takes them on a personal tour of the Folsom Street Fair next year. They can rub elbows with the people they really stood up for.
Congratulations Liberals all. Sleep well.
