Ten Republican senators are warning Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid that they will block any bills that do not address fiscal issues until the current impasse on spending is resolved.
"While there are many issues that warrant the Senate's consideration, we feel that the Senate must not debate and consider bills at this time that do not affirmatively cut spending," reads a letter signed by the group of 10. "We, therefore, are notifying you of our intention to object to the consideration of any legislation that fails to directly address this crisis in a meaningful way."
The letter was signed by Republican Sens. David Vitter of Louisiana, Jeff Sessions of Alabama, John Ensign of Nevada, Mike Lee of Utah, Jim DeMint of South Carolina, Rand Paul of Kentucky, Roger Wicker of Mississippi, Marco Rubio of Florida, Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire and Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania.
Senate rules give individual members the power to block legislation indefinitely to force debate. The letter says that the members will blockade any unrelated bill that comes forward unless Reid dedicates "significant floor time" to the debate over debt and spending.
Reid's office said, "After ignoring jobs for months, Republicans are making it official by vowing to block every bill that creates American jobs."

“In the meantime, the GOP will say the following at an assortment of Press Conferences over the next 4 months”:
Ain’t it the truth. Their act is so lame but yet they still think that we haven’t caught on.
Your observations and expectations have sound basis in history...I’m hoping the Republican Senators have actually grown a pair and they surprise us all.
The GOP Senate needs to block “everything leftist”, forever! The left has damaged the entire U.S., for too many decades, already! No more leftist legislation, from both major political parties and from leftist Independent politicians!
