Chaffetz miffed at missing pages

Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) tweeted his frustration about 300 pages that were allegedly missing from the official copy of the ACES bill:

Dems still don’t have a final finished hard copy of bill, 1,500 pages now

And we are supposed to vote on this? Nobody has read it in full.

During full House debate, Reps. Louie Gohmert (R-Tex.) and Joe Barton (R-Tex.) engaged in a vigorous back-and-forth with Rep. Ellen Tauscher (D-Calif.) about the missing pages. They requested official copies of the additional pages, which were submitted to the House Clerk early today. Tauscher held that the Texas congressmen’s pleas were not recognizable under the rules.
