McConnell Takes Next Step

By Quin

ADVERTISEMENTS

Hail to McConnell for continuing his efforts. Here is from a Roll Call article elaborating on what he did yesterday to keep up the fight:
: Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said Thursday morning that he would continue procedural tactics to delay action on the global warming bill unless Democrats consider President Bush?s judicial nominations.

McConnell made good on that threat within hours by refusing to give consent for Senate committees to meet while the Senate is in session. Under the chamber's rules, committees must receive unanimous consent to continue meeting two hours after the Senate has begun it's session. That request is usually granted, but objections have been made in the past in order to disrupt Senate business and make points about other issues.

One day after Republicans forced the clerk to read the entire 491-page climate change bill on the Senate floor, McConnell signaled that more delay is in the offing.
