A full read would have been so much better than the “10 hour filibuster”.

Please correct me if I am wrong about the Repubs having had the option for a full bill read (all two linear feet of it).

Seems the problem Conservatives have is a case of weak friends (Repubs) and strong enemies (the New Socialist Fascist Party...aka the “Dems”).

From what I understand, all it would take is a single senator to object to the 'unanimous consent'  required to skip the reading. This is a failure of every single republican senator.

Sen. Tom Coburn had been threatening to read the entire bill. Did he back down? I wonder why he would do that.
