game theory of congressional amendments

apparently the 2010 department of defense appropriations bill is moving in congress, and someone wants to amend it, there should be a vote, I think.

Rep. Flake (R-Az) has offered 553 amendments to the bill

#1 Would prohibit funding for Enhanced Navy Shore Readiness Integration.
...

#556 Would prohibit funding for the MacDill Air Force Base Online Technology Program.

or, en bloc...

553. Flake, Jeff (AZ) #595 Would prohibit funding for various earmarked projects in the bill.

(yeah, I noticed the numbers don't add up, maybe some in the #300s were withdraw...)

Anyway, this is a serious issue, and I presume Rep. Flake is trying to eliminate pork barreling and other earmarks unnecessary or detrimental to the readiness of the US Armed Forces.
I also presume earmarks from both parties are targeted for amendment...

So... I think Congress should take up and consider these amendments.
All of them.
Individually.
Rep. Flake should introduce each amendment, lead a debate and there should be a full vote on them.
All of them.

This stuff is too important to sweep under the rug or skip over through procedural rules.
Vote on all of them. Please.
