Go to http://thomas.loc.gov/ and type S.1348 into the SEARCH BILL TEXT window. Then click on the "Bill Number" button below the window to highlight that button, and click on SEARCH.
You'll get a big outline like the one below. Each line is a link to the actual text of that part of the bill. The whole thing is there. It's a big MoFo.
I'm trying to download ALL the text, and will make it available on my website as one HUGE text file soon. Handy for searches etc.
They say they will discuss and vote on it next week. How many Senators do you suppose will get the whole thing read and digested by then?
ZERO. Including the ones who supposedly wrote it.
