Usually, these "holds" are secret, but the veterans have outed Coburn:
Thirteen major military and veterans groups have joined forces to try to force one senator — repugican Tom Coburn of Oklahoma — to release a hold that he has placed on a major veterans benefits bill.Maybe the Democrats should file a cloture motion on S. 1963 to force the repugican caucus to choose between Coburn and the vets.
Coburn has been identified by Senate aides as the lawmaker preventing consideration of S 1963, the Veterans’ Caregiver and Omnibus Health Benefits Act of 2009, by using an informal but legal practice of putting a hold on a bill.
