Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) on his plans to require $1.9T COVID-19 relief Senate substitute amendment to read in its entirety in the Senate today: "I feel bad for the clerks that are going to have to read it, but it's just important."
Johnson (R-WI): "So often, we rush these massive bills that are hundreds if not thousands of pages long. You don't, nobody has time to read them. So, you start considering something you haven't even read. At a minimum, somebody ought to read it and this will give everybody time."
Johnson (R-WI) said having the bill read will allow Senators to "start crafting amendments. How can you craft effective amendments on a bill that you haven't even seen or haven't been given time to read?..I'm trying to set up a process where we can have all the amdts considered."
