re: #285 Nyet

They should be able not only to read, but also to analyze it. Seems like a no-brainer. (And yes, I’m aware that many, if not most bills go unread…)

This is not a bill. This is a proposed treaty that is still being negotiated. It’s secret because the administration doesn’t want these brainless goobers sticking their noses into the ongoing negotiations and bitching up the detail.

If and when the treaty has been fully agreed on by all parties and congress is called upon to ratify it or not, they will get a chance to read it. But they won’t.
