Peter King being interviewed....dang...
Until Mitch McConnell came on...closing down the Senate I beleive...until MONday..
Yup. In between, Lugar brought up and passed on a voice vote H.R.1053, dealing with trade with the Ukraine. S.632 on the same subject was postponed indefinitely.
McConnell passed S.Res. 396 and S.Res. 397, and advised that the first vote next week will be at 5:30 PM on Monday, Nomination at Calendar No. 520, Leo Maury Gordon to be a Judge of the United States Court of International Trade.
Seems the ethics and lobbying bill just died on the vine. It's hanging out there just like the asbestos bill is - failed cloture, and can't get UC to proceed to vote on the matter.
I missed the number of the budget bill, but that will be the subject on Monday. There are a few Senate bills that include the word "Budget," including the line item veto bill. Not to say that what the Senate plans to take up on Monday is a Senate bill - just as likely it is a House bill.
McConnel also noted a need to raise the debt ceiling soon, and that there would be a number of late nights next week, before the Senate takes off for its March recess.
