Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) on Wednesday said the Senate will hold a weekend session to deal with a package of several dozen bills that have been blocked by Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.).

When asked what message he intends to send to Coburn by threatening weekend work, Reid said it was “the same message as anyone.”

“We have to get our work done, and he’s standing in the way of getting it done,” Reid said. “So we can’t have weekends off. We have a lot to do.”

Coburn spokesman John Hart said the Oklahoma senator offered Reid a unanimous consent agreement with a list of amendments but that the Democratic leader declined, choosing a weekend session instead.
