The House of Representatives is scheduled to vote on a government appropriations bill Thursday evening and, with a day until the vote, lawmakers still have not received the text of the legislation.

“No one has seen the final wording of a long and complicated bill we will be expected to vote on tomorrow evening,” Republican Maryland Rep. Andy Harris told The Daily Caller News Foundation. “That’s no way to run a legislature.”

Republican Study Chairman Mike Johnson also confirmed that “as of lunch on Wednesday, members of the RSC, and to our knowledge, even members of the conference committee, had not seen the text.”

“It has been reported that [House Majority Leader Steny] Hoyer has said if the bill is dropped today we will consider it tomorrow. This is reminiscent of the, ‘you must pass it to find out what is in it,’ Obamacare debacle,” Johnson said to TheDCNF. “This bill is expected to be well over 1,000 pages, and we will potentially have less than 24 hours to digest it. This is absurd.”

Dear President Trump,

If you're going down, go down swinging!!! You have a whole lot of people hating you but remember you have a whole lot of people praying for you, your family, Vice President Pence and his family, and some of us are even praying for our and your enemies like Jesus told us to do. Now THAT'S LOVE!! You just do what is Godly, moral, and what is best in protecting this country because that is one of the duties you assumed as President. We know you aren't without sin...none of us are....stay strong, Sir!!

Love and Regards,

Wendy

Not a single member of Congress read the Patriot Act. But it passed into law under Bush43.

Here's an updated version 20 hours old.
