    Clay Pigeon - please explain?

    It sounds like it will be a problem for us! Isn't it an "all or nothing" form of amendment?

    Excerpt:

    Under the procedure, Reid would introduce a single, 22-part amendment, divisible into component parts for debate. Known as a "clay pigeon," it would offer the bill's supporters a means of staging the debate more or less free from interference, with the objective of keeping enough senators together to maintain the 60 votes needed to thwart a filibuster.

    It's an all or nothing package.

    I don't think Reid has the hoo-haas to do this.

    Dixie, it was announced by the Senate leader that he would do this.
