Adegbile Nomination Cloture Vote Rejected (47-52, 1 Not Voting)
Senators rejected invoking cloture on the nomination of Debo P. Adegbile to be assistant attorney general for civil rights.
Sen. Saxby Chambliss voted NO
Sen. Johnny Isakson voted NO
As a young boy Debo was an actor on the public television show Sesame Street, he later went to college at Connecticut College, an amazingly expensive school. Perhaps some money was put back from the acting, but being from a single parent home it is likely that the future lawyer was the beneficiary of some scholarship money. Is it an uneven choice to select as a civil rights lawyer a man that came onset of his career by benefiting from the proceeds of civil rights. Of course he would see this as vindication, while I would describe it as continuation. The folks in the Senate do not like this man, the President might use this as a throwaway and an opportunity to be working with the opposite part.
Military Prosecutions Cloture Vote Rejected (55-45)
On Thursday, the Senate failed to invoke cloture on a bill that would require decisions to prosecute felony-level crimes in the military, except those unique to the armed forces, be made by experienced commissioned officers who are not in the alleged perpetrators chain of command.
Sen. Saxby Chambliss voted NO
Sen. Johnny Isakson voted NO
Double edged sword stuff here. Feminist politicians see this as an opportunity to take down men a notch and the chain of command thing is certainly a deterrent to victim. In the end another certain step toward the pussification of the armed services.
Recent House Votes:
Environmental Reviews Passage Vote Passed (229-179, 22 Not Voting)
On Thursday, the House passed a bill that would expedite the environmental review process for federally funded projects and limit grounds for legal action against the review or permit approval process by outside groups. Agencies would have up to two years to complete environmental reviews. Only groups whose public comments on the review or permitting process that provide adequate notice of the issue being used to bring a civil action would be allowed legal standing in a lawsuit.
Rep. David Scott voted NO
Folks are getting screwed over by overzealous federal bureaucrats an need protection.
Ukrainian Loan Guarantees Passage Vote Passed (385-23, 22 Not Voting)
The House passed a measure on Thursday to make Ukraine eligible for U.S. loan guarantees using previously-appropriated State Department program funds to cover funding. The vote required a two-thirds majority under a suspension of House rules.
Rep. David Scott voted YES
Talk about throwing money into a hole. Here we have a country that easily could be consumed by an unrestrained Russian leader and Congress wants to throw money at them, even if the Ukrainians maintain faux sovereignty the Russian thieves will benefit from the largesse. Stupid wasteful giveaway, typical congressional bullshit.
Flood Insurance Premiums Passage Vote Passed (306-91, 33 Not Voting)
The House approved a bill on Tuesday to slow National Flood Insurance Program premium increases that are needed to achieve the programs full actuarial rates. Passed under a suspension of House rules, the bill received 40 votes more than the required two-thirds majority. The measure would also require the Federal Emergency Management Agency to certify its flood mapping approach before raising insurance rates in the future.
Rep. David Scott voted YES
I am all for helping the folks that are so poor they have to live in the flood planes of the country, but the rich folks who build monster homes on the beaches and historic pathways of hurricanes, because it is pretty, deserve no assistance AT ALL, THEY DESERVE NO ACCESS TO INSURANCE FROM THE GOVERNMENT. This is a subsidy for the rich.
Individual Health Insurance Mandate Passage Vote Passed (250-160, 20 Not Voting)
House members voted on Wednesday to postpone until 2015 the tax penalty for individuals who fail to purchase health insurance under the 2010 health care reform package. The current deadline for health insurance enrollment is March 31, 2014.
Rep. David Scott voted NO
That deadline is looming and how does my congressman vote, to hang tax penalties around the necks of folks that are either exercising liberty or simply cannot afford the crap the President put his name on. Thanks for helping out the little man you simpering little chicken shit.
Upcoming Votes:
Sexual Assault in the Military - S.1917
The Senate is scheduled to consider a military sexual assault victims rights bill and several U.S. district judge nominations this week.
Tough subject, people are surely being hurt, politicians are surely making hay.
Religious Conscience Health Coverage Exemption - H.R.1814
Among the items it is scheduled to consider Tuesday, the House is expected to vote on a bill extending additional religious exemptions under the health care coverage mandate.
Absolutely, most of the country agrees with protecting persons and organizations exercising religious choice. Just imagine if these liberal statists were running the draft of the sixties. They would struggle with the concept of conscientious objectors resisting on religious grounds, while the having to send cool young potential Democrats to war.
Hire More Heroes Act - H.R.3474
On Tuesday the House will also consider a measure that exempts veteran employees from employer mandates under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
A bill that protects a deserving minority while ignoring the obvious, the ACA has become a boat anchor around the economic neck of America. Business are not seeking to expand even if demand dictates that. Legislative confusion is making the big money sit. Employees would be better off everywhere if this crap hadn't been started.
Water Rights Protection - H.R.3189
Later in the week, the House is scheduled to consider a water rights bill concerning the Department of the Interior.
Right now the most effective water rights action the Interior has employed was turning off the irrigation water in northern California. Incredible myopic but effective. Dumb bastards don't deserve a single penny and the courts that made the decisions ought to be burned down.
