What is a clay pigeon?
Answer:
The tactic gets its name from the target used in skeet shooting, which explodes into bits as it is hit. In the Senate, an amendment is the target, and any one senator can demand that it be divided into separate fragments to be voted on piecemeal.
Its a clay target for shooting. You throw it in the air and shoot at it.
It means they were trying to add amendments to the bill that were going to get the overall bill shot down.
The only thing I can think of is they are comparing the bill to a clay pigeon. They are very fragile.
clay pigeons are clay disk that is shot into the air and used for target practice. the sport is in the olympics. our govt will use anything to make something sound good. they want to confuse the American people.
More than a few Reps in the House have said they will use the same tactic to cut the bill to pieces, table it, and let it die the death it deserves.
Clay targets also known as clay pigeons or skeet, are discs, made of pitch used in clay pigeon shooting including skeet shooting or trapshooting as moving targets. They are brightly coloured (usually orange or yellow) so as to be as visible as possible. Certain types of clay targets also reflect light, giving the disc a glimmering shine that can assist visibility.
