What I heard this morning is that the current bill was actually drafted in February by Inohue (sp?) and that all the earmarks in their from Republicans were "old". I took that to mean submitted before they got religion on the issue of earmarks. Not sure if that's true but it is interesting that the original bill comes from last winter and is only now being brought up for a vote. I had not heard that Reid claimed it was so they could pass other bills but that probably makes sense. I was glad DeMint forced the reading, especially after hearing several Senators say there was no way to read the bill before passing it. Maybe if they do that with every bill they won't be 2,000 pages of incomprehensible gobblygook (a highly technical term).

I too am surprised that Ron Paul had an earmark in there. Either way its a bad idea to saddle the new Congress with a one year spending bill, especially with all the pork in there. Better to let the new congress hash it out which will probably make sausage making pale in comparison.
