"Republicans will paralyze the Senate floor for 50 hours by forcing clerks to read every single paragraph of the 1,924-page, $1.1 trillion omnibus spending bill."

"Senate clerks are expected to read the massive bill in rotating shifts around the clock — taking breaks to drink water and pop throat lozenges — to keep legislative business on track, according to a Democratic leadership aide."

Oh, big deal. It will only take them a day or 2, as Senator DeMint admits. "Again, we’re trying to run out the clock. They should not be able to pass this kind of legislation in a lame-duck Congress."

Should the GOP demand the reading of the bill?
	No. It's pointless. The Dems will do what they want on Saturday.
	Yes. It's worthwhile theatrics that might affect the outcome.
	No. It's wrong to perform stunts like this.
	Yes. It's morally good to do what they can even knowing it won't work.
	Yes. It might work to do one thing and then another to run out the clock.
