"To lodge all power in one party and keep it there is to insure bad government and the sure and gradual deterioration of the public morals."

Debate Continues on Amendments to Stimulus Bill Today
Senators continue debate on amendments to H.R. 1, the economic stimulus package. Law- makers have approved amendments to the bill that raises the estimated cost over $900 billion
Vote to be expected after 3PM Eastern time
I read that reporters could look at them but not copy or take pictures of them. So, no...us pee-ons don't have any way to view them.

Hope he talks to Collins and Snowe like this!
Ugh..Schumer up now. Makes me sick that he is my Senator.
Chuckie the senior clown from New York up now.
Schumer makes me sick. His reasoning for the housing bubble was predatory lending. Yeah, that’s it Chuck. It had nothing to do with the CRA and Clinton. It had nothing to do with Frank covering up for Fannie and Freddie.
Good call, moron!
I’m starting to like him more and more.
Chuckie is talking sense?
Pelosi will most likely the pork back in during conference committee, this is all a show for the cameras.
He really is a piece of work, isn’t he? Just lies with such ease.
Sounds like there is more than one RINO traitor in the caucus than Collins if Chuckie is released to vote no.
I think he is voting against a republican amendment to the bill..not the Pelosi Pork Bill itself.
Teddy Roosevelt Pegged the Democrats PORK...
“If an American is to amount to anything he must rely upon himself, and not upon the State; he must take pride in his own work, instead of sitting idle to envy the luck of others. He must face life with resolute courage, win victory if he can, and accept defeat if he must, without seeking to place on his fellow man a responsibility which is not theirs.”
Did you see Senator Barrasso on Fox - he said Obama was agreeing to requiring a 60 vote margin in the Senate indicating he has that many votes? This is not encouraging.
Dirty Harry calling for the amendment votes starting at 4:30PM, Collins/Nelson is not on the list?
