Reading the bills

.
I've long thought that Republicans should be jumping onto the whole parliamentary procedure bugaboo of withholding unanimous consent on reading of all bills submitted to the senate, since Obama's agenda really needs to be stopped.

But they really need to take it to another level. The need to let the Dem leadership know that they intend to withhold consent on all bills, no matter now 'needed' the bill is. And they need to fully expect to have the Dems do the same thing whenever they aren't in power any longer.

Then, they need to start governing by submitting short, concise bills (with none of that flaky 'and other purposes'), that can be read in, say 30 minutes. Bills that attack the problem, not perpetuate it. 'Cause ya know, the more we hear about this sausage factory, the less we like it.

And how about you start with a Republican alternative to this health care reform clusterfuck. Be ready to have a member of the minority to withhold consent, so that the alternative can be read.
