Final days of last battle
May 17, 2010 | federal legislation, industry | Comments (0)The latest from The Hill:
For Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.), passing financial regulatory reform is bigger than cleaning up Wall Street. It’s also about proving that the Senate can still function.
—————————–
Dodd notes that the weeks-long debate in the Senate has not featured a single filibuster or tabling motion. The Senate has had 20 roll-call votes on the legislation; nearly every one has seen at least a handful Republicans and Democrats cross party lines to vote for or against a particular measure. Some amendments have been added with broad support from both parties. Others have divided Republicans and Democrats.
