Second set of Senate Amendments

For those of you who were watching, it seemed like the Senate had posted the amendments it was going to debate this weekend.  The final tally was 647 amendments.  And for those of us who spend time processing amendments, we were busy this weekend and today sorting and anlyzing amendents, so that we would know the scope of the upcoming Senate floor debate.

Then, around 4:00 p.m. this afternoon, the Senate suddenly posted an additional 47 amendments. The same trick, by the way, that the House had turned just a few weeks earlier.

I'm sorry, but how hard is it to get a complete set of amendments and post it on the website?  It's not like they aren't going to have withdrawn amendments, redrafted amendments, or in the case of the House, completely new amendments that suddenly appear in the bundles.  This is an exasperating way to do business for those of us who are depending on reasonably complete information to do our analyses.
