in reality this is about blocking much-need speaking now about the rules for the health care reform debate. the debate will go for about an hour. then there will be a vote on this. let s listen to get a taste of what s happening on the floor. they just want to make reform go away. i know my colleagues on our side will vote yes so we can consider this vote on its merits and not stop it on a procedural motion. let s stop wasting time on loopholes. voting on the rules before they start the debate on health care. as this is going on top democratic lawmakers were being heckled by conservative protesters moments ago as they walked up the capitol hill floor. a series of historic votes today on health care. you can see the tea party iiersf to the side.
