So much for open debate: Senator McConnell just denied Senator Markey the chance to speak on his own amendment for ONE MINUTE!
@AJentleson - at least Senators are getting a vote on amendments. More fair than the last few years where amendments were blocked.

@BrianHDarling does Sen. Paul believe in reading what he votes on? This batch of amends was proffered an hour ago. Has he read them all? -
@AJentleson - I believe he is happy that the Senate is finally voting on amendments. The Senate is finally resembling a deliberative body. -
@BrianHDarling you dodged the q about whether he's read the amendments - is it deliberative if he's voting on amendments he hasn't read? -
@AJentleson - Carper Amdt in a Tweet - 8 cent tax on each barrel of oil transported in Keystone pipeline dedicated to land and water fund. -
@BrianHDarling not all senators share Senator Paul's comfort with shooting from the hip. Some like a little time to think. -
@AJentleson - Voting on Amendments on motions to table is better than no votes at all --like we had over the past few years.
