This isn't about disclosure. It's about paralysis. If a Congressman isn't going to willingly slog through a 1,000 page bill, what makes anyone think the average citizen will? They'll just listen to some pundit who claims to know the bill inside out because he claims that he read it.
The only thing that can come of this is greater opportunities for gridlock where an opposition party whose members haven't read a piece of legislation because they're not bound to under this law can block it while requiring the members of the party who wrote it to swear they read it because they are bound to.
