Bid to end senators secret holds advances

In the Senate, every man or woman can be king. Each can hold up a billion-dollar spending bill on a whim, or block one of the president's nominees from ever getting a hearing. Whether they're in the majority or minority doesn't matter.

They also don't even have to explain why. But the best part of all? They never have to admit that they did it.
