I see you bought into the leftist news reported last night. Lies coming from the left. Try to get the facts before spreading the lies.

The important thing to remember about this is that because of senate rules, any senator can demand the reading of any bill. In a similar way, any senator can suggest the absence of a quorum at any time. So, if this doesn't happen every single republican senator is just as guilty as if he'd voted for the bill, and ushered it through to the vote himself. They depend upon you not knowing that so they can pretend to actually be doing something to stop these bills. The fact is, it's a huge charade, and we're the ones who end up paying for it.

Yeah right. And tomorrow I’ll read thathe Repubs backed down from their request because someone in the press might say bad things about them. More bluster from the spinless repubs.

Seems HR has pulled the bill. They don't want the earmarks read aloud.
