One senator in secret can do a 'silent filibuster' of legislation by quietly going to the Senate Majority Leader and refusing 'unanimous consent' for the regular transaction of legislative business.
The shroud of secrecy should be removed. NO Senator should be allowed to block anything without the public knowing who they are.
Nobody is asking for the 'nuclear option', but this senseless CODDLING of cowards is ridiculous.
Harry Reid, announce that policy is OVER and get the unemployment benefits extension PASSED YESTERDAY.
