So what is this "hold" on S.724?

Jul 22, 2003 1 Replies

I have seen several messages refering to it, but what does it mean?



Can anyone explain in non-legalese?



My understanding of a "hold" is simply notification that the Senator(s) intend to filibuster if this bill is brought to the floor for a vote. Basically they are saying that if their mind is not changed, or the bill is not changed, you may be wasting the senate's time bringing the bill up for a vote.
