Looks like we're in for another 1000 page unread bill being pushed into law with no regard for what the majority of Americans want.

Republicans want bills to be posted a minimum of 72 hours before being voted on, but that's been shot down by dims and the most transparent administration in history.

Unprecedented transparency? Another campaign promise that turns out to be a mockery of the truth.
It hasn't been totally shot down, at least not yet. John Boehner's bill (H.Res.554 - Amending the Rules of the House of Representatives to require that legislation and conference reports be available on the Internet for 72 hours before consideration by the House, and for other purposes.) hasn't been voted on yet.

It's stuck in committee. There has been a "discharge petition" filed, that would force it to be voted on. 218 signatures are required to force it to a vote. The blog of the bill's author, Congressman John Boehner (http://republicanleader.house.gov/blog/?cat=53) gives a good description of the bill's status (thanks for posting that link, kyfanatic), and for the record, I agree with it 100%.
