This bill is dead. There’s no way the Senate will pass cap and trade in an election year. Same goes with ObamaCare. We need to keep the delay games going. If it gets pushed to the next congress, they have to start all over.

Barbara Boxer plans to bypass Republicans on climate vote
Senate Environment and Public Works Chairwoman Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) plans to exploit a committee loophole and completely bypass the GOP on Thursday if Republicans continue their boycott of the legislative markup, according to Democratic aides and lobbyists.
Republicans have refused to attend the markup of the legislation until the Environmental Protection Agency delivers an additional analysis of the bill.
Some aides have described this decision to pass a bill without any Republicans present as a “nuclear option” because it bypasses the usual custom of having a few Republicans there for a quorum.
EPW Committee rules state that opening a “business meeting” requires one-third of the members of the committee, including two members of the minority party. But legislation can be approved by the committee with a simple majority of members, an exception Boxer could use to pass her bill.

We’ll need lawsuits against this and the healthcare bill. The only way they can be stopped is in the courts. I hope to God someone is planning to sue. The Supreme Court is the only way to stop them from turning the US into a socialized country.
I wish I could say I am shocked too, but nobody was paying attention last week or cared when calls needed to go to the committee...
