The sponsors are not the only ones who vote on the bills and even with that I doubt they personally read the entire bill. Besides, the original bill sponsored goes through several changes as it goes from house to house and all the sub-committees. It would take an unusually dedicated member of Congress to read every page. I'm sure there are a few but from what I understand that type of Representative is rare and the system in place usually does not allow time or as we see in this instance the resources to necessary to be thorough.

You might not know this but Nancy Pelosi and some other Democratic House leaders are rushing out for a trip to Europe so they are pushing this through quickly so they can get on the plane.
