G.O.P is “stalling”
May 5, 2010 | federal legislation, industry | Comments (0)Good for them. From the Associated Press:
Heading into Wednesday, the Senate had yet to take a vote on any amendment to the bill. The Senate’s Republican and Democratic leaders bickered over timing. And while debate was well on its way, the endgame for the bill was far from clear.
“They’re stalling everything we do,” Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid complained Tuesday evening. He called for the bill to be completed by the end of next week.
Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell had a different timetable in mind. “I must tell you, I don’t think this is a couple-of-weeks bill,” he said. “It’s not that we don’t want to pass it, but we do want to cover the subject.”
With 41 seats, Republicans have the votes to prevent a final vote as long as they remain united.
