The republicans want to read the entire omnibus legislation, all 2000 pages of it, out loud.
This effort is to block the outrageous spending bill from passing during a lame duck session.
The democrats are crying because they don't want the people to know what is in the 1.1 trillion dollar spending bill.
They are using the START treaty as an excuse to beotch about republicans holding up their crony corporate deals.
Democrats are saying the public should not know what is in the bill and they should vote on it without reading it because it is holding up the START treaty.
I don't know about you, but the nuke treaty can wait.
