"Sanctuary Cities" -- Cloture Vote Failed (54-45, 1 Not Voting)
The Senate rejected a motion to invoke cloture on the McConnell, R-Ky., motion to proceed to the bill that would withhold federal funds from cities and jurisdictions that do not comply with certain federal immigration laws. The measure would also set sentencing requirements for individuals who repeatedly re-enter the United States illegally after deportation.
Sen. Johnny Isakson voted YES
Sen. David Perdue voted YES
Georgia's two Senator voted with McConnell while some Republicans left the coop and voted with the Democrats. They still wanted to talk about the bill. Everything McConnell has done with regards to immigration has been wrong so I am not sure what the issue is here. My real issue with this is the concept that we have a Federal government and Department of Justice that complete ignores the law, we now live in a socialistic oligarchy.
Cyber-security Information Sharing -- Cloture Vote Agreed to (83-14, 3 Not Voting)
The Senate agreed to the McConnell, R-Ky., motion to invoke cloture (thus limiting debate) on the Burr, R-N.C., substitute amendment to the bill that would direct the federal government to develop procedures to facilitate information sharing, and would authorize the voluntary sharing and receipt of a cyber-security threat and operation of defensive measures by private entities.
Sen. Johnny Isakson voted YES
Sen. David Perdue voted YES
On this Georgia's two Senator voted with McConnell and the majority, closing discussion. The real issue for citizens is what they deem to be appropriate defensive measures, because that usually means they feel it necessary to infringe on citizens rights.
Recent House Votes:
Debt Prevention -- Passage Vote Passed (235-194, 5 Not Voting)
The House passed legislation that allows the Treasury Department, once the statutory debt limit is reached, to continue borrowing above that limit in order to pay the principal and interest on both government debt held by the public as it comes due and on obligations held by the Social Security trust fund.
Rep. David Scott voted NO
Callous politics going on here, the President has obtained the upper hand in fiscal negotiation because, primarily, the Republicans have shown their cards, are unwilling to risk closing the government. This even tough recent pols suggest that 56% of voters have concluded that government closures might be needed. David Scott on this topic if voting to prolong the opportunity to torture Republicans with their own fecklessness.
District of Columbia Opportunity Scholarship Program Reauthorization -- Passage Vote Passed (240-191, 3 Not Voting)
The House passed a bill that reauthorizes the Scholarships for Opportunity and Results program for five years, through fiscal 2021. It is a federally funded program under which eligible students in Washington, D.C., can receive vouchers to attend private schools and is the nation's only federally funded private school voucher program.
Rep. David Scott voted NO
Voting the party line with the NEA union, despite the fact that a discontinuation of the program would hurt most poor black Democrats. Makes no sense at all, but that politics. If the man says David we'll support with money if you support propping up our shitty teacher's union, the deal is locked in stone no matter how freaking stupid.
National Strategic and Critical Minerals Production -- Passage Vote Passed (254-177, 3 Not Voting)
The House passed legislation that reclassifies certain mining operations as "infrastructure projects" in order to allow the permitting for mining on federal lands to be conducted under a streamlined permitting process created for infrastructure projects by a 2012 presidential order.
Rep. David Scott voted NO
Looks like this was David's week to be a dumb ass Democrat. Leadership says, resist all usage of Federal lands for business, that's off limits, David does the Nazi salute and there you have it.
Health Care Reconciliation -- Passage Vote Passed (240-189, 5 Not Voting)
The House passed a bill that repeals key elements of the 2010 health care overhaul law including the individual and employer mandates and the medical device and "Cadillac" taxes, and it blocks for one year federal funding for Planned Parenthood.
Rep. David Scott voted NO
Little surprise here, this is the Democrats pet project. In two years it will belong to the Republicans and then we'll see how much they really dislike government control of the medical industry. My guess is the system wont change is trajectory much, shit begets shit.
Upcoming Votes:
Cyber-security Information Sharing - S754
The measure would direct the federal government to develop procedures to facilitate information sharing, and it would authorize the voluntary sharing and receipt of a cyber-security threat and operation of defensive measures by private entities.
The government is not capable of leading this issue, but they have to try.
Retail Investor Protection - HR1090
The bill would prohibit the Labor Department from implementing a final rule on fiduciary standards for retirement investment advisers until after the Securities and Exchange Commission conducts a study and issues a final rule setting standards of conduct for broker-dealers.
Let me guess, David Scott ain't voting for this.
