Early House Report Card

[BluffTHIS!]

From that article on the proposed rule change coming up for a vote:

"Under the proposed rule, any senator who instituted a hold would be required within six days after raising it to submit a Notice of Intent to Object to Proceeding that would state their name, the date, the matter at hand and the reason for issuing the hold. Any hold lifted within six Senate working days after it is placed would not have to be disclosed."


So all that means is that holds will have to be publicly known in order not to expire after a few days. Sen. Kyl won't have any problem with being outed for blocking the bills we seek to have passed. And his one hold will still be sufficient to totally block consideration of same in absence of a filibuster breaking super-majority who wishes otherwise.
