Think Progress » After voting against debating health reform, Republicans demand Senate ‘stay in’ to debate this weekend. - http://thinkprogress.org/2009...
"When the Senate voted to proceed on the health care reform bill, not a single Republican voted to begin debate. Sen. Mike Enzi (R-WY) claimed that “the American people are going to be surprised at the time that we waste when we could be solving jobs and the economy.” Sen. Dick Lugar (R-IN) said, “I would suggest we put aside the health care debate until next year.” But today, Republicans took to the floor to urge Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) — who announced yesterday that Senate may adjourn for the weekend — to continue debating health care:" - Steven Perez from Bookmarklet
