A food safety bill that has burned up precious days of the Senate’s lame-duck session appears headed back to the chamber because Democrats violated a constitutional provision requiring that tax provisions originate in the House.

The debacle could prove to be a major embarrassment for Senate Democrats, who sought Tuesday to make the relatively unknown bill a major political issue by sending out numerous news releases trumpeting its passage.

Damn good point and I agree.
“Fiscal conservative” Mark Kirk, the “lame duck killer”, eagerly voted for this POS bill as soon as he was sworn in. What happened to all his cheerleaders on this forum demanding that the Senate “seat Kirk immediately” so he could “Stop Obama”?
I thought it was to be reconciled w/ a bill already passed by the house....which of course originated in the house. Can someone expalain how this is different than obamacare....same thing happened there...right?
