Posted on June 13, 2013 by Larry

Tuesday the Senate took up comprehensive immigration reform. There were two largely procedural and seemingly redundant votes that had similar favorable outcomes. Do not read too much into these votes. Although they allowed the process to continue they are not … Continue reading →

The Courageous And The Cowardly

Posted on April 13, 2013 by Larry

Thursday the Senate voted 68-31 to limit debate on gun regulation. In (relatively) plain English they stopped the filibuster and will soon actually vote on the gun regulation proposals. Some Senators took what is commonly perceived as courageous votes while … Continue reading →

The New F Word

Posted on February 16, 2013 by Larry
