...The Upton-Inhofe proposal was specifically tailored to pre-empt Agency overreach by returning authority over the America’s climate policy to Congress. Constitutional issues aside, an unchecked EPA is expected to lose billions in revenue and kill hundreds of thousands of jobs nationwide.
Congratulations are due to the Democrat members of both chambers who had enough sense to buck their party’s Big Green Government ideology. In the senate, only four Democrats voted for the McConnell amendment: Mary Landrieu, Joe Manchin, Ben Nelson, and Mark Pryor. Apparently seeking to return the favor, Susan Collins (R-Maine) went turncoat and deprived her party of a majority, sinking the initiative at 50-50. Then again, maybe Sen. Collins thinks that Maine has too many jobs, and that EPA interference is a convenient solution. You can ask her by calling (202) 224-2523.

Once again Sen Collins shows herself to be a traitor to the country and to the Constitution.
Well, once again, the Senate Republican leadership has failed to rein these RINOs in.
Has either Senator Collins or Senator Snowe ever been punished for voting against the party when it was critical?
RINOs are permitted to vote against the party if their votes are not needed. In this case, both Snowe and Collins were evidently needed, but Collins defected. Has she been punished by losing a committee membership or anything else for behaving in this way over the past dozen years? Not that I’ve heard. And Maine has turned more conservative and elected a Republican governor, too. This is inexcusable, both on her part AND on the leadership’s part.
