Posted by Orin Kerr: Another Question for the "Read the Bill" Movement: http://volokh.com/archives/archive_2009_09_20-2009_09_26.shtml#1253749162
Another question for the ReadtheBillers. The rubber meets the road with elections. So imagine you go into the voting booth and you have two choices. The first choice is Legislator A, who votes the way you like, shares your ideology, and generally "gets it," even though he's not exactly a policy wonk and he doesn't actually read the bills.

Would you vote for Legislator A or Legislator B? Or perhaps you would [1]write-in David Bernstein?
