Politicians - "Hotlining"
Like most things, this must have a good side and a bad side.
Unfortunately, the bad side of of "hotlining" seems to be that Senators are voting for things they know nothing about.
Or maybe that's always been the case [smile]...

This little tidbit by Paul Jacob was at TownHall.com:
"Congress passes many bills without reading them. Some are prepared so close to the vote that not even their sponsors really know what they say.
That's nothing new. We all know this. But here's a surprise: Now the Senate can push through the legislation no one reads even faster, lickety-split. It's called hotlining, and it was designed to get nitpicky business-y kinds of things done quickly.
But recently the business has turned serious."
