Replying to: gagrice (Jun 26, 2009 2:55 pm) Did anyone mention that Jerry Brown has dropped the global warming lawsuit against the automakers ? (Sfgate.com). The new administration made that suit and appeal unnecessary (at least to AG Brown).

But House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) may have figured out a way to get around that prohibition Friday as the House inched closer to voting on a controversial energy and climate change bill. Overnight, House Democrats tacked onto the bill a 300-page amendment. So when Boehner took his time to speak against the package at the end of the debate, the Ohio Republican then decided to peel through major portions of the bill and read them aloud before his House colleagues.

Replying to: gagrice (Jun 26, 2009 7:29 pm)  But is Business Week wrong too? (House Passes Carbon Cap-and-Trade Bill) Oh yeah, Jerry Brown is the California AG, having been elected in 2006. He's running for governor (again) in 2010. (Per Wikipedia, if you can believe it...).

Replying to: steve_ (Jun 26, 2009 7:51 pm)  I don't think Boehner was successful. So another big fat bill has been voted on without the members of Congress having a clue as to what it says. So much for an open government. Makes Nixon's look like a wide open book. PS Don't remind me about Jerry Brown. If I could I would sell out and move to our place in Hawaii. Just too much invested here to bail out. |

Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) had a few choice words about House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D-Calif.) landmark climate-change bill after its passage Friday. When asked why he read portions of the cap-and-trade bill on the floor Friday night, Boehner told The Hill, "Hey, people deserve to know what's in this pile of s--t." Eight Republicans voted with Democrats to pass the bill; 44 House Democrats voted against it. One Democrat was upset that his leaders would needlessly force vulnerable Dems to vote for a bill that will come back to haunt them. Mississippi Rep. Gene Taylor (D) voted against the measure that he says will die in the Senate. "A lot of people walked the plank on a bill that will never become law," Taylor told The Hill after the gavel came down. At least not all Democrats in the House are brain dead. This says it all |

Probably one of the few times I would be on the side of Jim Hanson. Though maybe he is seeing the error of his ways and will become a force for good instead of evil.
