Senate votes to end secret holds 92-4. Three teabaggers and one other wingnut vote against.

From The Hill, via @on_the_media:

Although Senate leadership already agreed to stop the practice of secret holds in a gentleman’s agreement Thursday morning, the passage of Res. 28, the Wyden/Grassley/McCaskill Secret Holds Resolution, will codify the change and will apply to future sessions of Congress.

Sixty votes were required for adoption.

The four Senators voting against the resolution were Sens. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), Mike Lee (R-Utah), Jim DeMint (R- S.C.), and John Ensign (R-Nev.)

Weren't these four among the loudest yelling about the supposed lack of transparency a few months back? Or was that some other teabaggers? Or is this just another case of IOKIYAR?

Also:

Secret holds gave senators the ability to anonymously stall legislation or the administration's nominees.

DeMint objected to a measure brought forth last year by Sens. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) and Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) that would have eliminated the practice.

"There are a lot of pressing issues that we face as a country," DeMint said at the time. "But one of them is not secret holds."

Shameless. Utterly shameless.
