@mkraju@morningmoneyben And the Senate has been debating Keystone for the past two weeks. -
@StewSays@mkraju@morningmoneyben the bill, yes. The amendments mcconnell forced votes on, no. Senators given no real time to read them. -
@AJentleson@StewSays@mkraju@morningmoneyben serious question: how much time should a senator get to read a 3 page amendment? -
@frankthorpNBC@StewSays@mkraju@morningmoneyben first off, there were six amendments. -
@AJentleson@frankthorpNBC@StewSays@mkraju I'm just glad everyone's getting along so well! Good night good sirs.

@mkraju@morningmoneyben McConnell denied Markey and many others the chance to debate their own amends for 1 min http://youtu.be/cmVOZRwB7lo -
@AJentleson@mkraju@morningmoneyben - Democrats filibustering + obstructing after an evening of votes on Dem amendments.#Ironic -
@BrianHDarling@mkraju@morningmoneyben we've been explicit that we will oppose bills we oppose. Never said we wouldn't. -
@BrianHDarling@mkraju@morningmoneyben difference is, we won't filibuster everything like Rs did. TRIA for ex. Rs filibustered it in Dec. -
@AJentleson@mkraju@morningmoneyben - At least Ds are allowed to offer amendments and get votes. McConnell not blocking amendment process. -
@BrianHDarling@mkraju@morningmoneyben you know Rs blocked amendment votes about as often as reid filled the tree last congress, right? -
@AJentleson@mkraju@morningmoneyben - Know that Reid filled tree on most bills with date change amdts. That caused dysfunction. -
@BrianHDarling@mkraju@morningmoneyben that seems like a cul de sac but ok. My point is, this favorite GOP chestnut is hollow.
