Military Sexual Assault Prosecutions Passage, Vote Passed (97-0, 3 Not Voting)
Senators finished work on reforming the military's practices for reporting and prosecuting sexual assaults within its ranks on Monday, passing a bill written by Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-MO. The bill would amend the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014 to require special victims' counsels in sexual assault cases and forbid using the defendants military record in defense arguments. The bill would also require the evaluation of whether commanding officers have established a climate in which allegations of sexual assault are properly managed and fairly evaluated and a victim can report criminal activity without fear of retaliation or ostracism.
Sen. Saxby Chambliss voted YES
Sen. Johnny Isakson voted YES
The Senate passes a form of Congressional political oversight for the military. A law borne of a real problem that will solve issues and create others. All in defense of women who elected to enter a system created for men. I am not saying that it is wrong but military cannot be whole with dynamic external influence. Tough problem, and all I am saying is be careful of the cure.
Child Care Block Grant Reauthorization Enzi Amendment, Vote Agreed to (98-0, 2 Not Voting)
On Wednesday, the Senate agreed to an amendment (S.AMDT.2812) offered by Senator Michael Enzi, R-Wy., to the reauthorization of child care block grant programs. The amendment requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services, in conjunction with the Secretary of Education, to conduct a review of Federal early learning and care programs and make recommendations for streamlining the various programs. The block grant program was reauthorized through Fiscal Year 2019 on Thursday.
Sen. Saxby Chambliss voted YES
Sen. Johnny Isakson voted YES
Block grants are generally favored by the Republicans. Anything so unanimously supported by Democrats must mean that there is some shifting of debt to the states.
Flood Insurance Rates Passage, Vote Passed (72-22, 6 Not Voting)
Senators approved a bill to slow National Flood Insurance Program premium increases that are needed to achieve the program's full actuarial rates. The measure would also require the Federal Emergency Management Agency to certify its flood mapping approach before raising insurance rates in the future.
Sen. Saxby Chambliss voted YES
Sen. Johnny Isakson voted YES
Anything that advances financial favoritism to scenically self-centered is not right.
Recent House Votes:
Ukraine Resolution Passage, Vote Passed (402-7, 1 Present, 20 Not Voting)
The House overwhelmingly passed a resolution Tuesday condemning the violation of Ukrainian sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity by military forces of the Russian Federation for their actions in Crimea.
Rep. David Scott voted YES
Big fucking deal. Impotent bull shit it is. You are bad, you shouldn't do that. See how terrible Putin is, and contrast that to how thoughtful Congress is.
Federal Water Rights Passage, Vote Passed (238-174, 19 Not Voting)
On Thursday, House members passed a bill that would prohibit Secretaries of the Interior and Agriculture from making any transfer, relinquishment, or other impairment of any water right a condition of the issuance of any permit, lease, or other use agreement concerning federal lands. The law would apply to lands covered by interstate water rights compacts as well.
Rep. David Scott voted NO
This is something I agree with, take the progressive bureaucrats down a notch.
Medicare Doc Fix Passage, Vote Passed (238-181, 12 Not Voting)
On Friday, the House agreed to repeal the sustainable growth rate model of physicians' compensation rates under Medicare. The bill would establish a single conversion rate of cost increases for physicians' services at .5 percent through 2018 and would completely freeze updates thereafter through 2023. The bill would also require certain federal agencies to perform studies of access to health care and cost controls for some procedures under Medicare.
Rep. David Scott voted NO
Crap on top of crap, these politicians are making bugetary plans 4-7 years out like it means something.
