Sen. Tom Coburn has just demanded that the Senate clerk read the single-payer amendment offered by Sen. Bernie Sanders -- and it's 767 pages.
Typically, Senators offering amendments will ask for unanimous consent to avoid reading the entire meausure, but all it takes is one Senator to object to demand its reading, and Coburn objected to Sanders attempt to dispense with the reading of the amendment.
To give you a sense of how this could delay things, it took the Senate clerk 18 minutes to get through the first 6 pages of the amendment, which were the table of contents. At this current pace, it will take 38 hours to get through the entire amendment.
You can follow along with the amendment here.
UPDATE: The body of the bill seems to be going faster than the table of contents, but it still looks likely to take at least 12 hours at this pace

To recognize it for what it is is to want to kill it.
Read it. Kill it.
This amendment.
The whole bill.
I was just thinking that....ROFL!
There are lots of reasons I love Coburn - this is just one.
ROFL!! Good one!
Rush is reporting that Nancy Pelosi told her people in the House that she is through being first with contraversial issues... that in 2010 the Senate will have to first tackle those issues...LOL.
Great idea! I just with the rest of the GOP senators would join in.
Hurrah, Senator Coburn! You are a man of great courage and I support your work here and elsewhere.

Mr. Speaker! I demand that Senator Tolstoy’s entire War and Peace amendment be read aloud!
That actually happened to my sister.
She called poison control, and had a hard time getting them to stop laughing in order to give her advice.
I swear this is true.
See link at post #109,...Mitch diagrams it....
I see the link. Thank you!
Whoops...that should be #108.
Oh yeah baby!!
Thanks Mael...
After this is read, the Republicans should vote with the dumbocrats to include this amendment. That way, Joe Leiberman will vote with the pubbies to not cut off cloture and we can kill this thing. Put the government run health plan option back in this thing. Would this be too clever by half? Can we not count on Joe Leiberman to vote against it?
