Last night, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid voted in favor of allowing the federal government to subsidize Viagra for child molesters.

So did fifty-six of Reid’s Democratic colleagues, including Sens. Barbara Boxer (Calif.), Arlen Specter (Penn.) Blanche Lincoln (Ark.). and others facing tough re-election challenges this November.

In addition to supporting federal subsidies of Viagra for child molesters, Reid, Boxer, and the rest of the Democratic caucus also supported taxes on prosthetics for wounded veterans, childrens’ orthopedic devices, and an exemption for senior leadership staff from being forced to purchase health insurance from health insurance exchanges, like Members of Congress must do. To Democrats, these things are all simply part of the price of imposing Obamacare on America.

Republicans were able to force votes on all of these issues through a fun Senate procedure called vote-o-rama. Amendments are normally required to go through a time-consuming consideration process where they are likely to be thrown out. But during vote-o-rama — which was part of the Senate reconciliation proceedings that Democrats undertook last night — any Senator is allowed unlimited time to file amendments, and thus register complaints, about the legislation being considered.
