Bill to Blow Through Coburn Holds Introduced in Senate.

Senator Coburn from Oklahoma has a well deserved title of "Dr. No" for the many holds that he has placed on a variety of bills in the Senate.

The Democratic leadership in the Senate appears to reaching the end of their tolerance of this practice. As the news story HERE relates, current plans are to bundle 40 or so bills into a single bill on which the Senate will be asked to vote for cloture, which would then allow debate and eventual votes on these bills.

The status and language of the Senate bill, S. 3297, can be found on Thomas HERE.
