This reminds me of the Hughes amendment. They tried to read it aloud on the floor of the House and the bill's pushers kept doing everything they could to obstruct and prevent that until the allowed time for reading ran out, with the intention that those voting would hopefully not know it's contents. Now this is accomplished just by making bills so huge that it becomes a physical impossibility to read the whole of it in any reasonable (weeks to months) amount of time, let alone comprehend all it's implications and effects.
