McConnell agrees to earmark ban
You watch. I'll bet dollars to donuts it either fails due to some "unforeseen" technicality or the narrowest of margins by small-name politicians, or there will be a loophole big enough to fit Pelosi's ego through while barely grazing the sides.House Democrats agreed in this Congress to ban earmarks for all but not-for-profit entities, and the latest developments add to the pressure on Senate Democrats to agree to reforms. Man, I don't even know where to begin on that one! In any case, pols are already calling it a "moratorium". Which means it is simply mothballed until people take their eye off the ball. Now as for that "deem and pass" crap. When do we start the legal proceedings on the unconstitutionality of this maneuver? Posted by: gorb 2010-11-16 |
