This is the second shuttlepod for Health Insurance Reform Bill schedule to begin voting at 1:00 EDT.
Everything below the fold is Adam's work that I brazenly ripped-off because he did such a fine job (and he helped me do said ripping) that he deserves as much praise as we can give him. Thanks, Adam for getting the ball rolling and easing those of us going nuts looking for info and wanting to connect with like minded people! Be sure to recommend the Mothership and not this shuttlepod.

CSPAN Video Library of the Rules Committee Meetings last night:
Session 1
Session 2
Session 3
Session 4
There was a boatload of baloney in these meetings. Adam just watched the last session, which was all of the votes to grant waivers on bogus Republican Amendments You can read them all here. Byrd rule for would be useful here if only!
I make the point that when the Senate is operating under cloture the Chair is required to take the initiative under rule XXII to rule out of order all amendments which are dilatory or which on their face are out of order.
Here are just a few examples of the mess that our brothers and sisters on the other side of the political spectrum have been causing:
