The Senate can be a magical place sometimes. Taking advantage of a clever procedural tool, Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK) has forced the upper chamber to read a 767-page amendment out loud. (One has to feel sorry for the people reading the amendment.)
Senator Bernie Sanders (Socialist-VT) introduced his single-payer amendment to the health care bill but Senators DeMint (R-SC) and Coburn put their foot down. They are now using all available procedural tactics to kill the bill, even if they have to kill the voice of a few Senate staffers in the process (a worthy sacrifice).
Senator Coburn commented, “We’re going to understand what single-payer is all about and read the bill.”

***Update***
Senator Coburn did battle once again with Senator Max Baucus (D-MT) and the exchange was priceless. Senator Coburn asked that Senators fully read and understand the bill before they voted.
Senator Baucus, we’ll say, was less than optimistic about the comprehension level of his colleagues. The video (one minute mark) displays our nation’s sad state of affairs.
