"I love these members that get up and say 'READ THE BILL.' What good is reading the bill if it's a thousand pages, and you don't have two days and two lawyers to find out what it means after you've read the bill?"
-- Rep. John Conyers (D-MI)

Mr Conyers. You work for ME the taxpayer.
Mr Conyers. You will read the bills and debate their merits. THAT IS YOUR JOB.
Mr Conyers. You need lawyers to read and interpret the bills?
You were hired as a middle manager and tasked to hire support staff to fill in for your deficiencies. I'm not omniscient. I don't believe you are. You need to hire a staff of lawyers to read bills and distill them for you? DO IT.
Mr Conyers. When you need more time to cogitate on the distilled contents of a bill or debate points on the floor you will refuse to vote or vote NAY unless that time is provided. THAT IS YOUR JOB.
If I am unable to do my job(incompetent) or unwilling to do my job(insubordinate) I will be dismissed (FIRED) by my boss.
Mr Conyers. You have been my employee for 20+ years. You should be classified as an insubordinate or incompetent employee when your position is that you can't or won't read "the bill". My patience as your employer has been stretched very thin.
Mr Conyers. Your next performance review is in November of 2010.
If you were white, the TAXPAYERS would expect a lot more from you;you're not and they don't.
