Some snippets from the article zeroing in on Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) because, of course and thank GOD, he's in the thick of this:

Though it has never been done, Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) says he’s prepared to test the Senate’s stamina to block the Democrats from using the process to expedite changes to the healthcare bill.

...

DeMint said he’s ready to try anything.

“You’ll see Republicans do everything they can to delay and stop this process,” DeMint said. “They need to get the message the track they’re on is the wrong track.”

...

DeMint said that using reconciliation rules to pass the House-requested changes to the Senate healthcare bill with only 51 votes is “tyrannical.”

“I think you’ll see us offering amendments to get us into November, if we can,” said DeMint.

Jim DeMint Ping!

DeMint said he’s ready to try anything.

God Bless him!

I saw an article, I believe it was on Hot Air, that the amendment process can be stopped if it's ruled by the VP that the amendments are not pertinent to the bill.
