- dvtrn 6y agoThis is a problem I have with how a LOT of legal topics are covered, Bills, lawsuits and court cases are discussed, the merits opined, but nary a complaint, brief, motion or court opinion gets linked so I can read for my damn self what the actual law as voted on says. It’s more of a surprise when it IS linked or embedded to read than not
- omanom 6y agohttps://www.congress.gov/search https://www.congress.gov/search https://www.congress.gov/member/thomas-tillis/T000476 https://www.congress.gov/member/thomas-tillis/T000476 I've had decent results consulting this site. The bill in question has not, as far as I can tell, been brought up for consideration yet anywhere so the only text that exists is that which is linked in the submission. Just looking at the co-sponsors alone, I'd be worried about this legislation.
- viridian 6y agoThe bill has been passed. It was added into the omnibus bill as a part of negotiating between the Dems and the GOP.
- viridian 6y agoI agree in principle, but you wouldn't expect court documents in particular to exist for a new piece of legislation though. In this case we would want the proposed revision to the federal code.
- meragrin_ 6y agoBut is the text of that PDF the same as the text in the monster bill?
- roblabla 6y agoYes, it is. You can trivially ctrl+f it to make sure.
