Not just U.S. Congressmen fail to read things.  On the flip side, the headline is hilarious.

Nice.  And I like picturing Costa Rica as being governed by a giant chinchilla

I guess they don't have the power to, like, UNpass a law? I've sure never heard of that happening here since Prohibition was repealed.

I think only Obama can declare when a law will not be enforced.

Sure they do.  But note how the article continually refers to "Conservative" MPs.  Top parties in Costa Rica's 57-seat legislature:

National Liberation Party (PLN): 46.91%, 24 seats, centre-left

Citizens' Action Party (PAC): 25.06%, 12 seats, left

Libertarian Movement Party (PML): 20.92%, 9 seats, centre-right, but given their platform they'd probably support it

They could repeal it, but they don't have the votes.  The three parties I just listed make a supermajority.
