I was talking about this with my nimrod brother-in-law and he asked me if McCain was such a leader, why couldn’t he get Senators Frist or Shelby to act on this - members of his own party.

I have tried to see if action on this was blocked by Democrats, but I don’t really know much more about why this didn’t go anywhere with the Republicans controlling the Senate at the time.

Has anyone seen any more background on this?

Thanks

Report on FNC last night said Senate dems blocked action on the floor at that time. Committee votes were straight party line.
