The Hill ^ | 04/26/2018 | Jordain Carney

[Truth29]

Republicans self identifying as enemies and targeting themselves for primary challenges.

[Jim W N]

The latest in a long line of congressional bills unsupported by the Constitution.

[LIConFem]

Legislature has no power to deny the chief executive of his constitutional authority.

I am “sure” President Trump is waiting, pen in hand, to sign this crap! If the Plague wiped out the US Senate today, would we notice a difference? I think not.

[blackdog]

Ok. So just appoint a special counsel assigned to every president elected to impede, threaten friends and relatives, provide cover for real criminals in government, and leak things true or false to the media to destroy.

Makes perfect sense.........

PRIMARY THIS TOM TILLIS GUY!!!

He rubbed me the wrong way when I heard him say we didn't need to build a Wall!!!!!!!

[JoSixChip]

district of corruption.

[EODGUY]

Linda Graham....why am I not surprised!

[Sacajaweau]

That’s only the panel...in other words, it’s got miles to go.

[dirtboy]

I doubt this bill would survive SCOTUS. It’s a clear usurpation of executive perogatives by the legislature.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Trump will veto. The override vote should be fun.

[DanielRedfoot]

Get a rope...

[JME_FAN]

If it’s a bill, then it can be vetoed.
Does this “legislation” need to be approved by the House?

[Bonemaker]

Thanks a rot Mitch for letting this dreck proceed. And the rino insects who voted for it.

[MNJohnnie]

Meaningless posturing. Voters should contact their Senators and tell them to stop with the empty posturing for the Media and start doing their JOBS for a change.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Repeal the 17th Amendment. We need The States House again.

[Williams]

Despicable

[DarthVader]

Mitch is not going to let it go to the floor. This is feckless.

[lurk]

Mueller is a comet. He’s losing mass every day and will eventually fade out.
