Can anyone help me understand the marathon amendment rally in the senate?

Was this a GQP stunt to try and mess with the C19 bill?
They all had to stay up working all night for it.

3. It's part of the process for passing a budget resolution.

The votes are non-binding, because a budget resolution never becomes law, but it puts senators on the record, and allows the minority to force “tough” votes.

5. did any of the amendments pass?

6. Some of them did. It mostly doesn't matter.

The last vote was a manager amendment that stripped out the amendments leadership found troubling.

4. this is a normal part of the process for a reconciliation bill.

after bill is introduced senators can propose amendments. Once this is resolved it goes back to commitees for final writing and then the house and senate committees meet to reconcile the differences.

8. Yes. And it was mostly beaten off.
