Well they can do that with paper.

They should have the details of the law printed out in front of them.

Scrolling through on a phone seems very limited.

They can write down notes and they can reply to constituents after they vote.

Yeah! We used to write code on paper too! Software engnieers should only use paper too!

All computer programs should also be printed and reviewed using punch cards!

A literal computer with arguably more features than a modern desktop is too limited!

This is a totally sane take! I know I like writing things twice, or using a format without any ability to search through it.

They are not programming. It's a bill that can be printed off and already is. Just make copies.

They are not editing it, they are reviewing it and making notes.

Laptop use is...fine, but I don't believe for a second they are reviewing the entire bill on their phone.

You don't take tests on your phone, nor should you legislate on your phone.
