You're expecting our politicians to actually understand the laws they vote on? That's just insane. What's next? Banning bills that are thousands of pages long and include countless things that are entirely unrelated to the actual topic of the bill? Come on.



I know, I know, it's a crazy concept. I just get so frustrated seeing people pass bills on subjects that they have zero knowledge or can't even explain how it would be enforced. It would also be a nice resource to the layman, "Here are a list of examples/scenarios that would/would not run afoul of this law".


I mean Ron Wyden of Oregon stands out by a country mile when it comes to actually trying to grok and pass common sense tech laws.

Ain’t enough Ron Wyden’s out there sadly.
