- House: EPA Research Standards – Passage
Hoo rah.
Recent Senate Votes:
Keystone XL Pipeline - Passage Vote Failed (59-41)
The Senate rejected a bill that would immediately allow TransCanada to construct, connect, operate and maintain the pipeline and cross-border facilities known as the Keystone XL pipeline, including any revision to the pipeline route within Nebraska as required or authorized by the state. By unanimous consent, the Senate agreed to raise the majority requirement for passage of the bill to 60 votes.
Sen. Saxby Chambliss voted YES
Sen. Johnny Isakson voted YES
Now why in the world do you think those boys raised the level passage? My deduction is to render votes for inconsequential. God damned dishonest bunch of rat bastards. The voters have spoken start listening.
Surveillance Authorities - Cloture Vote Rejected (58-42)
The Senate failed to invoke cloture on the motion to proceed to a bill that would prohibit the bulk collection of domestic telephone and Internet metadata by intelligence agencies. It would allow intelligence agencies to query data held by telephone companies if the government can demonstrate the search is needed to fight terrorism.
Sen. Saxby Chambliss voted NO
Sen. Johnny Isakson voted NO
The result and the votes by Georgia Senators are aligned with the principle of restricted government. Unfortunately I don't think the intelligence agencies think their boundaries are serious encumbrances. In my understanding, they pretty much do whatever they want.
Recent House Votes:
EPA Research Standards – Passage Vote Passed (237-190, 7 Not Voting)
The House voted to pass a bill that would prohibit the EPA from proposing, finalizing or disseminating a rule or other regulatory impact analysis or guidance unless all scientific and technical information used to support the research results is made publicly available and can be independently analyzed and reproduced. It also would clarify that environmental research law does not require the disclosure of information that is prohibited by law.
Rep. David Scott voted NO
What's the point, Reid won't do anything with it.
