The problem is that our legislators famously do not write or even read the legislation that they vote on. Sometimes it's strategic and intentional that a party will try to hold a vote on some 1000+ page piece of legislation with 24 hour notice. Other times, they simply don't care to read it, so they do not.

Actual lobbyists write actual legislation, in fact. And our politicians vote on them without having read it. It's a really stupid system.
