Durbin's "lips are moving" on health care bill facts

In 1983 Chicago White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf had this to say about the longtime owner of the New York Yankees. "How do you know when George Steinbrenner is lying? When his lips are moving."

Which brings us to a press release from the Senate Republican Communications Center:

FACT CHECK: HEALTH CARE AMENDMENTS
Dem Falsely Says Republicans Authored Four Amendments To The Health Bill When Over 200 Have Been Filed And Blocked By The Majority

SEN. DICK DURBIN (D-IL): "Four amendments in 20 days. the combined wisdom of the Republican Senate caucus came up with four amendments to this bill of 2,000 pages in 20 days and six different motions to send the bill back to committee and stop talking about it." (Sen. Durbin, Floor Remarks, 12/19/09)

Senate Republicans Have Offered Over 200 Amendments And Motions To H.R. 3590. (U.S. Senate Website, Accessed 12/19/09)
