No new news or action today

It appears the hold up is still about the bills funding though i am concerned about another potential stall when some try to attach extending the new home buyers tax credit to the unemployment bill.

"In an interview with the New York Times' Carl Huse today, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) said that his caucus is "getting ready to clear the way" for H.R. 3548, but he offered no exact details about when that might occur. Same goes for Sen. Judd Gregg (R-New Hampshire), the ranking Republican on the Senate Budget Committee, who told the AP that procedural differences will be ironed out soon without providing any specific time line. "

There is some information some might find educational on opencongress on the s1699 thread page 425 posted by Taylor09 on the bottom half of the page, he talks about how amendments are added to bills in the senate.
