1:41PM Pelosi seeks pension vote anulled by Corbett B. Daly

WASHINGTON (CBS.MW) -- House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., called for House of Representatives to annul the approval in the House Ways and Means Committee of a bill that would change pension laws. Earlier in the day, House Republicans called the police after Democrats walked out of a House committee vote on pension reforms. Pelosi called it an "indignity" to call the police on the Democrats. The Democrats had objected to a procedural move by committee Chairman Bill Thomas, R-Calif., and tried to delay the vote. While Democrats were out of the room, Thomas pushed the bill through unanimously on a voice vote. A Republican staffer asked Capitol Police to remove the Democrats from the room where they had taken refuge. The Democrats left on their own. The bill approved was a substitute for the Portman-Cardin pension bill, which would alter the way companies calculate pension liabilities and would also reform IRA and 401(k) plans.

[syriacus]

C-Span now at Pelosi's/Dems' briefing.

Rangel telling Dems side of the story.

[Darksheare]

Prolly something bad.
But Californistan is messed up anyway.

[Mo1]

Charlie Rangel is talking now and trying to explain why they ran away

[concerned about politics]

Ohhhh. Rangle (D). Now they're innocent "victims." It's always someone elses fault.
Democrats are so pathetic.

[Mo1]

LOL .. what is Charlie doing .. giving a deposition ???

[Dog]

Pelosi called it an "indignity" to call the police on the Democrats.

Get used to it, you old biddie.

[BlessedByLiberty]

Runnin' away ain't cool in the Hood!

Tsk, tsk, that doesn't play well in the Harlem Street.

[syriacus]

Rangel says Dems were subject to arrest for resisting multiple requests to vacate the room. Republicans denied that during debate.

[Xenalyte]

Is Sheila Jackson Lee in jail?

You wish.

(I wish too.)

[debg]

a PATTERN to intimidate the minority!

[Zack Nguyen]

What an interesting time that must have been. I have read the book Hill Rat, and it seemed that the Chairman regarded the committees as their own fiefdom even more so than now.

[Mo1]

Who is this Loser Hoyer

Someone might want to explain to him exactly who decides who is the minority and the majority

THEY ARE CALLED VOTERS

[concerned about politics]

Hoyer (D) "Unchecked power! Destroying our Constitution! Abuse of power in "the peoples house!"

OMG. Democrats are such LOSERS!

[Dog]

It just failed.

[syriacus]

Rep. Steny Hoyer says majority has a pattern of intimidating and shutting up the minority, not allowing their input.

Now talking about (bad) actions taken toward (runaway) Texas Democrats.

C-Span doesn't seem to want to cut away to action on the floor.

[Dog]

Why are they talking about the TEXAS DEMS??
