Yet Another Gargantuan Bill They Haven't Even Read

Following in the footsteps of the stimulus bill, the omnibus spending bill, and TARP, the cap-n-tax bill will get a vote without Congress even reading it.  Oh, sure, it was bad enough that the 1,200-page tome just came out a couple days ago...but it gets even worse:

Today is the planned vote on cap-and-trade, H.R. 2454. Speaker Nancy Pelosi has called a vote on this massive boondoggle before the 4th of July recess.

Michelle Malkin has a list of representatives on the fence.
Power Line sees this record tax limping across the finish line.

Democrata know this program will cost American families thousands of dollars. Senator Barack Obama admitted this last year in an interview with San Francisco Chronicle:

"Under my plan of a cap and trade system electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket. Businesses would have to retrofit their operations. That will cost money. They will pass that cost onto consumers."

Barack Obama admitted cap and trade legislation would cause electricity prices to skyrocket.
Cap and trade will likely cost $700 to $1,400 dollars per US family per year...

Democratic Congressman John Dingell (D-MI) summed up cap and trade at a Congressional hearing on April 24th-- "It's a Great Big Tax!"
It's not just a great big tax... It's the biggest tax in US history.

Early this morning, Waxman dropped a 300-page amendment into it.

Who's read it?  Anyone?  Anyone?  I'll bet you $1.6 trillion not a damn one of them has.

More, from Mike Pence on the floor of the House this morning as summarized by Michelle Malkin during the live proceedings:

GOP Rep. Pence blasts "embarrassingly short" debate on behemoth bill. Says there are reports that there are new trade restriction in the bill, but who knows. No has read the bill. The way the bill is coming to the floor should be disturbing to every American. Last night at 3:00am, House Dems filed 309-page amendment and denied 224 GOP amendments. Three hours, 1 amendment filed. What's the hurry? What are we hiding - that we can't afford more time for Americans to examine what's in the bill? What's in it? Corporate welfare? Special provisions to placate members? Majority just denied us one additional minute of debate?! This is not Congress! I don't know what this is…a travesty!

CALL. NOW.

There's my two cents.
