Simple, start making them read EVERYTHING on the Floor, including the entire 2000 page bill.

I called both my GOP Senators, Isakson and Chambliss and demanded that they do that. DEMAND THEY READ EVERY AMENDMENT AND THE FINAL BILL IN ITS ENTIRETY.

BTW, Senate rules require THREE readings and I suggest they make them read the damned things all THREE times.

Standing Rules of the Senate

RULE XIV

JOINT RESOLUTIONS, RESOLUTIONS, AND PREAMBLES THERETO

1. Whenever a bill or joint resolution shall be offered, its introduction shall, if objected to, be postponed for one day.

2. Every bill and joint resolution shall receive three readings previous to its passage which readings on demand of any Senator shall be on three different legislative days, and the Presiding Officer shall give notice at each reading whether it be the first, second, or third: Provided,That each reading may be by title only, unless the Senate in any case shall otherwise order.
