Senate Amendments Posted

The Senate posted their amendments this weekend.  The Senate has a bit of an awkward way of doing this. Instead of publishing an entire list of amendments which links to the individual amendments -- as the House does -- the Senate publishes their amendments bundled into thirteen topic areas.  This might be seen like the consolidated amendments acted on in the House during floor debate, only that the Senate doesn't do multiple consolidated amendments the way the House does. The Senate allows much more debate on individual amendments, and usually bundles the remaining amendments together in one big bundle at the end of the session.  At least that's what they did last year.  So what is the purpose of the bundles?

In order to get a list of the Senate amendments, you have to agglomerate each of the bundles together and then try to sort them on amendment number.  It's a lot more work than it should be, frankly, to get a clean picture of what's going on.
