I see in the news today that the President got bitch slapped by the Supreme Court on two or three cases this week.  Things are looking up, he finally got stopped on the recess appointment fallacies. If there are any great thoughts that the rest here triggers, you'll recognize them by the blue italic font.

Recent Senate Votes
Fiscal 2015 Appropriations Minibus 'Shell' - Cloture; Vote Agreed to (95-3, 2 Not Voting)
The Senate invoked cloture on the motion to proceed to the bill that would that would provide for $51.2 billion in discretionary spending in fiscal 2015 for the departments of Commerce and Justice and other science agencies such as NASA and the National Science Foundation. The bill is intended to serve as the legislative vehicle for the Senate's Commerce-Justice-Science, Transportation-HUD and Agriculture spending bills for fiscal 2015.
Sen. Saxby Chambliss voted YES
Sen. Johnny Isakson voted YES
It is really to bad that money for the criminal Attorney General from money for the Department of Justice. Court hearings and prosecutions have to continue, the only path suitable for leader Eric Holder is impeachment.
Recent House Votes
Fiscal 2015 Defense Appropriations - Passage; Vote Passed (340-73, 18 Not Voting)
The House passed a bill that would provide $570.4 billion in non-war discretionary funding for the Defense Department in fiscal 2015. It also would provide $79.4 billion in fiscal 2015 for contingency funds to support operations in Afghanistan and the general war on terrorism.
Rep. David Scott voted YES
Interesting that my Democratic Representative voted for non-war discretionary Defense Department expenditures.  These type of bills are where the money for illegal government programs come from.
Upcoming Votes
Workforce Investment Act Reauthorization - HR803
The Senate is expected to vote on this bill that would overhaul and reauthorize the 1998 Workforce Investment Act.
I did not know what the act was all about so checked around and Wikipedia says..

The law was enacted to replace the Job Training Partnership Act and certain other Federal job training law with new workforce investment systems (or workforce development). Enacted during Bill Clinton's second term, it represented an attempt to induce business to participate in the local delivery of Workforce Development Services. The principal vehicle for this was Workforce Investment Boards (WIBs) which were to be chaired by private sector members of the local community. A majority of Board members were also required to represent business interests. Today, WIA funds can be used to fund workforce education and career pathways programs.

Among other things, this is money for job training.
CFTC Reauthorization - HR4413
The House is expected to vote on this bill that would reauthorize the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and shield non-financial companies from some of the rules on derivatives in the 2010 Dodd-Frank financial regulatory overhaul.
This is supposed to protect investors, likely designed by brokerage lobbyists.
Dodd-Frank is a set of hollow words designed to feign protection, hell the creators were chiefly responsible for the 2008 crash.
