Obstruction manual for health care: parliament tactics
Republican senator Judd Gregg wrote a memo on obstruction tactics for the health care reform bill. This memo interests me due to the tactics detailed rather than any political stance.
As The Daily Show clip summed it up:
Obstruction in parliament (in this case the US Senate):
1. Points of order without cause
2. Unlimited amendments
3. Send the bill back to committee
A story on this:
