Of the 8 suspects left, 6 are GOPers and 2 are Dems.

Sadly, if I were a placing a bet, my money would have to be on Stevens. The guy and his family are pork personified.

Open gov't? Rule of law? Secret hold? This is unlikely to turn out well for more than one pig at the trough.

Personally, regardless of the answers given, I still think its either Ted Stevens or Robert Byrd.
Either way, since its secret, and they are politicians, expect whoever it is to lie and deny.

It could be a conspiracy (actually it already is).

Who in the Senate is responsible to notify the Senate that someone put a secret hold on a bill? There must be someone who knows who put on a hold. Or, do they just leave an unsigned note under the majority leaders door. What is the rule that allows this?

It's on the referenced website.
Stevens, Martinez, Crapo, Gregg, Hatch, Bennett for the GOP.
Rockefeller & Carper for the dems.
Smart money is that it is Stevens, as several posters have said.

This is being determined by some good old fashioned legwork.

You're assuming no one lied when they said they didn't put it on hold. Big assumption if you ask me.

There must be someone who knows who put on a hold.
I always assumed that all Senators know but keep it quiet by custom...and also because what goes around, comes around. I'm not so sure though and will ask around tomorrow.
