First, Mitch. Can't seem to stand in the way of Wall Street reform.
Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) does not have enough solid commitments from GOP lawmakers to block consideration of a Democratic Wall Street reform bill.
McConnell has circulated a letter within the GOP conference that would have Republicans pledge to block a motion to proceed to a financial regulatory reform bill unless Democrats agree to reopen it for bipartisan negotiations.
But McConnell has fallen short of the 41 signatures he needs to send Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) a clear signal.
Then Joe. I know. You're going to object that Joe isn't a Republican. And I'll say right back at you, "Prove it!"
Senate Homeland Security Committee Chairman Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) on Thursday threatened to subpoena the Obama administration if it doesn't release information by next Monday on the Fort Hood shootings in November.
The dramatic, bipartisan vow opens a new rift with the White House for the Independent Lieberman as well as the possibility of President Barack Obama’s first legal showdown with Congress.
