Marjorie Taylor Greene's Reading Comprehension: A Tale of Unread Pages and Unforeseen Consequences

In the latest episode of "Congressional Confessions," Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has candidly admitted to voting in favor of the "One Big Beautiful Bill" without fully reading its contents. The bill, spanning over 1,000 pages, includes a provision on pages 278-279 that prohibits states from regulating artificial intelligence for the next ten years—a detail Greene claims she was unaware of at the time of her affirmative vote .
Greene expressed her opposition to this specific section, stating, "I am adamantly OPPOSED to this and it is a violation of state rights and I would have voted NO if I had known this was in there." She has since pledged to vote against the bill should it return to the House without the removal of the AI regulation clause.
This revelation has sparked discussions about the importance of legislators thoroughly reviewing legislation before casting their votes. Critics argue that such oversights can lead to unintended consequences that may not align with a representative's stated values or the interests of their constituents.
As the bill moves to the Senate, where it faces scrutiny and potential amendments, Greene's admission serves as a reminder of the complexities and responsibilities inherent in the legislative process.
Call to Action:
