So you're actually ok with not knowing what's in the bill before the vote?

Any vote?

Responses:

You were real worried about this when the Patriot Act was up for a vote. - BB Sep 23, 11:14 1
- I certainly didn't advocate hiding the details of the bill before a vote. - Stephen Sep 23, 11:21
personally, yes. I have neither the time nor inclination to read the bill before they vote. - znufrii Sep 23, 11:12 9
- at least the option of transparency is a good thing, imo. -- nm - b. Sep 23, 11:20
- I think the campaign promise was a noble, and worthwhile promise. - Loyola Sep 23, 11:14 7
  - pity indeed, but again, that's not what we're talking about ere at all. -- nm - znufrii Sep 23, 11:15 6
    - If you think it's a pity, would it be fair to say you disagree with a Dem vote not to make them public? Irrespective of whether or not you personally - Loyola Sep 23, 11:20 5
      - we're talking about two different points of the process here. -- nm - znufrii Sep 23, 11:22 4
        
        It was a simple question. -- nm - Loyola Sep 23, 11:23 3
        
        then the answer to your question is "no", for the reason I just gave. -- nm - znufrii Sep 23, 11:24 2
        
        It's a pity it's not being implemented, but you agree with the vote. Thanks. -- nm - Loyola Sep 23, 11:25 1
        
        correct. - znufrii Sep 23, 11:26
