This is the reality: No Senator or Congressperson reads the bills themselves. They have staffs of advisors that pore over them from a number of legal and other perspectives, and they assemble all that feedback into position papers that the legislator uses to determine their vote on the bill.

It's the same for every legislator. They receive bills that are hundreds of pages long with a vote scheduled for just a few days away, and often are voting on several a day. They read them through when they're dozens of pages long, but beyond that, they hand them off to staff.
