Congress Passing Momentous Laws That Haven't Even Been Written Down Yet

SteynOnline - JACKSONIAN AMERICA: "Government has now effortlessly outpaced the nimble typing fingers of Congressional stenographers, there was no actual physical copy of the bill in existence at the time the House voted for it.

Is that even legal? To pass a law that’s not in writing? Hey, relax. Someone probably tweeted the high points. It’ll be out there somewhere. The White House asked Ashton Kutcher to tweet National HIV Testing Day, so I’m sure they asked Lady Gaga or Perez Hilton to tweet National Unread Unwritten Fifteen-Hundred-Page Bill Day. No taxation without Twitterization!"

I'll admit, I've been too angry to follow very closely the wheeling and dealing on Crap and Trade, but I think it's scandalous that I am just learning for the first time in Mark Steyn's column that Crap and Trade was passed before it even got committed to writing. Where is the press? Where is the outrage?

Read the column - as usual, Mark's gallows humor will still manage to bring a smile to your face.
