REPUBLICANS SETTING FILIBUSTER RECORD

The filibuster — tool of obstruction in the U.S. Senate — is alternately blamed and praised for wilting President Barack Obama’s ambitious agenda. Some even say it’s made the nation ungovernable. Maybe, maybe not. Obama’s term still has three years to run. More certain, however: Opposition Republicans are using the delaying tactic at [...]

GOP SENATOR FLIPPED ME OFF: ANC NEWS PRODUCER

ABC News producer Zach Wolf said he was given the middle finger by Republican Sen. Jim Bunning (R-KY), when a fellow reporter asked why the senator had put a hold on a federal highway bill that has furloughed more than 2,000 federal workers. Wolf didn’t elaborate, but Tweeted, “Jim Bunning just flipped your trusty [...]

SEN. ALEXANDER: USING RECONCILIATION TO PASS HEALTH CARE REFORM WOULD ‘END THE SENATE’

Today, Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN) appeared on ABC’s This Week to discuss last week’s bipartisan health care reform summit. During the summit, Alexander urged the President and Congressional Democrats to “renounce” the idea of using budget reconciliation to pass health care reform. Alexender went even further today, saying that the use of reconciliation would be [...]

ERIC CANTOR: NO ONE WANTS TO GO ON MEDICAID

Eric Cantor claims that no one wants to go on Medicaid. Really? I wonder if those with no insurance at all or with their premiums going through the roof that might prefer that option would agree with you? He also says the GOP wants “more people uninsured”. As Media Matters asked, Freudian slip? READ [...]

GLENN BECK SAYS HIS SMEAR CAMPAIGN AGAINST VAN JONES WAS ‘NOT A PERSONAL THING’

Last year, one of Fox News host Glenn Beck’s top targets was Van Jones, former Obama administration special adviser for green jobs. Beck went on a vicious character assassination campaign against Jones, calling him “a communist-anarchist radical.” This weekend, while accepting an award from the NAACP, Jones took the high road and directly addressed Beck: [...]

ULTIMATE FOX NEWS REVISIONISM: ‘WHAT USED TO BE CALLED THE NUCLEAR OPTION’ IS NOW ‘CALLED RECONCILIATION’

As ThinkProgress has noted, conservatives — especially Fox News — have been trying to re-brand the long-standing Senate process known as reconciliation as the “nuclear option” — a term that came into prominence when Republicans threatened to unilaterally change the rules of the Senate in 2005 to prohibit the filibuster on judicial nominations. The right [...]

MCCAIN TO PROPOSE AMENDEMENT PROHIBITING CHANGES TO MEDICARE USING RECONCILIATION

President Barack Obama may have cut off Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) at Thursday’s health care summit, but Meet the Press gave McCain the last word this Sunday. During yesterday’s appearance McCain announced that he will introduce legislation preventing the Democrats from using reconciliation to change Medicare spending:
MCCAIN: And let me also say that Robert Byrd [...]

MCCAIN ON MILITARY’S GAY BAN: ‘I BELIEVE THAT IT’S WORKING’

Sen. John McCain once said that he would trust the opinion of military leaders to decide when it was time to end the military’s controversial Don’t ask, don’t tell policy. Now that the Congress is considering repealing the policy, McCain seems to have changed his tune.
But the Arizona Senator seemed to dismiss the opinions of [...]

KRISTOL: ‘I DIDN’T WATCH’ THE HEALTH CARE SUMMIT, BUT I’LL COMMENT ON IT AS IF I DID

On the Fox News Sunday roundtable this morning, the panelists discussed President Obama’s health care summit. NPR’s Mara Liasson said that while it may have been “political theater,” it was also “very clarifying” because it “laid bare exactly where the two parties stand.”
Host Chris Wallace asked Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol, “Have you been clarified?” [...]

PELOSI WELCOMES TEA PARTIERS TO JOIN PROGRESSIVES IN FIGHTING AGAINST SPECIAL INTERESTS

Last year, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) proclaimed that the tea party movement is “astroturf [and] not really a grassroots movement. It’s astroturf by some of the wealthiest people in America to keep the focus on tax cuts for the rich instead of for the great middle class.” Pelosi has been repeatedly attacked [...]

SHLEBY DISMISSES THE ADVERSE EFFECT OF HIS HOLDS ON THE PENTAGON, SAYS HE HAS NO CLUE IF NOMINEES ARE QUALIFIED

Earlier this month, Sen. Richard Shelby (R-AL) quietly and selfishly put a blanket hold on dozens and dozens of President Obama’s pending nominees in order to secure pork for his state. Some of the nominees who were caught in Shelby’s hold included the candidates for “the top Intelligence officers at the State Department and the [...]

PUBLIC OPTION GARNERS AVALANCHE OF SUPPORT IN SENATE

In the wake of last week’s “bipartisan summit” — which proved that no Republicans in Congress will vote for health care reform — an avalanche of Democratic senators are announcing today that they will vote YES for the public health insurance option if it is brought up in “reconciliation.”
Senators Dick Durbin (D-IL), Patty Murray (D-WA), [...]
