The Iowa Independent reports that The GOP is threatening a filibuster of the health bill, by reading the entire thing. It makes me wish I could get C-Span all over again. Senator Tom Harkin is promising that if they do the Dems will maneuver to delay Thanksgiving break. How many 24 hr. days to you need to read 2000 odd pages?
Harkin thinks they have the 60 votes, expects a motion to proceed by Friday and have it all over but the shouting by the Christmas Holiday. Lovely. Read the link:
