This is all theater. It gives the Republicans something to ‘stop’ the Democrats on while the Democrats are given every last commie wet dream they can think of for Christmas. Hell, it’ll still probably pass, but they’ll have ‘fought the good fight’. You know, for the folks.
After they have finished reading it could they offer some insignificant amendment that would get agreed by a majority & THEN FORCE A READING AGAIN?
“This is all theater.”
IT’S GOOD THEATRE.
I’m really tired of the GOP spinelessly going along with Reid’s latest outrage.
When they stand up and fight, they DO end up highlighting the outrage and the Senate leadership loses votes. We have 22 Democrats up for election in 2012. How many want to author this porkfest? and the DREAM Act? etc.
Every day we slow them down is another day that we stop them from hurting the country. Bring on the bill reading.
