WASHINGTON, December 2 – Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) today placed a hold on the nomination of Ben Bernanke for a second term as chairman of the Federal Reserve.
More at the link. I hope they're not going to sacrifice Bernanke in exchange for killing Paul's amendment.

He gives a nod to whoever his masters tell him.
The money masters will decide who will replace bernake as the "anti-bernake", even though they are all the same- then Obama nods, and the senate confirms.

How did Bernie put a hold on the confirmation? I know he can filibuster, but is there another method?

I second that nomination. He could just do nothing.

maybe Bernanke will take the hint and disappear on his own....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secret_hold
A secret hold is a parliamentary procedure within the Standing Rules of the Senate within the United States Senate that allows one or more Senators to prevent a motion from reaching a vote on the Senate floor. Current Senate rules allow the hold to be only temporarily anonymous.
