From Josh Orton at MyDD, who knows how things operate in the Senate, comes this analysis of which GOP Senators have been willingly rolled by their obstructionist colleague, Tom Coburn. These are the Republican Senators who will either side with their own policy initiatives or side with Tom Coburn. Harry Reid is giving them that choice: And since many of the bills were bipartisan, quite...

I have blogged earlier about how Reid has rolled into one bill all the various bills that were being held up because of one Senator, Tom Coburn (R-OK), who regularly puts a hold on bills for the sake of leverage: you want the hold removed, you rewrite the bill to Coburn’s specifications. But Reid’s approach has [...]

Courtesy of PhotoTune Most serious members of the Senate, regardless of political party, consider Tom Coburn (R-OK) a clown and a gadfly. He has been annoying in holding up routine and non-controversial bills with overwhelming bipartisan support with silly, wasteful delaying tactics that accomplish nothing except keeping the Senate from moving forward. The last time he pulled this stunt, he...

Senators Tom Coburn and Jim DeMint spoke today in opposition to efforts by Democrats on housing and energy, calling their solutions “short term” and politically expedient rather than cogent and effective. Coburn says that this is the problem with Harry Reid’s omnibus spending bill, too, which is why Coburn has placed procedural holds on it. It spends too much money and focuses...

... Harry Reid is giving Republican Senators a choice, too. They can vote with chief obstructionist Tom Coburn or vote to pass some key legislation : Most lawmakers dream of getting their names linked to legislation. That won't be so when the Senate takes up what is unofficially being called the "Coburn Omnibus." It's a package of about 40 bills that have in many cases been single-handedly...

Senator Tom Coburn, one of the few senators committed to protecting the taxpayer, currently has "holds" on dozens of authorization bills. This means that he is preventing them from getting approved by the Senate without any consideration or debate. He doesn't necessarily object to all of them, he just thinks that the "greatest deliberative body" in the world should at least have an open debate...
