Roughly halfway through the 11006 Sections

Good job Clerks!

You are nearing the end. Thank you!

1. Any senators in chamber? . . .

K & R for the clerks!

[jmbar2]

2. Last I heard it was empty.

But not sure.

8. If the chamber is empty, they shouldn't have to continue reading

[lindysalsagal]

11. This is beyond kindergarten stupid.

[Sneederbunk]

3. Russian Ron should have required to be present.

[dchill]

5. They should not be allowed to demand it...

... and not be present for the entire thing. Let alone not be there at all.

[Cha]

4. Yay for the Senate Clerks.. TY!!

[dflprincess]

6. Is there anyway the rules can be changed

to require the Senator asking for a bill to be read aloud to do the reading?

It sounds like the Trumplicans plan to pull this stunt often.

[Gaugamela]

7. They should be allowed to use a text-to-speech app on an iPad at 2x speed.

Why should clerks be put through this? Oh yeah, the good ol’ boys of the neo-confederacy.

9. Great idea!

You should suggest it to your Senator, (if they're a dem).

[George II]

10. I think those clerks deserve an EXTRA $1400 check. They should have made all the republican....

....senators sit through this reading WITHOUT phones or tablets or any reading material.

[question everything]

12. And.. are they done?

13. As of 8:20 pm, they are at Section 9672, page 471
