DISTORTING THE LEGISLATIVE PROCESS
Recently Sepaker Dennis Hastert announced the new policy that no legislation of consequence
would reach the House floor unless it had the support of a majority of the Republican caucus.
On controversial legislation, the Republican Senate majority often makes whatever concesssions
are necessary to send a bill to conference committee, where the will of the lockstep House Republicans prevails. If Democrats
are permitted on the conference committees, they are of the most pliable sort.
Now, there is a strong possibility that Vice President Dick Cheney and the Republican
majority in the Senate will strip the Democrats of their right to filibuster judicial nominations. Neither this nor
the Hastert policy are illegal, but they lack s precedents and are examples of how the GOP has the weakened legislative
process. Click below and you can learn more about this and see a picture of me. You will need to page through the issue
to find my smiling face.
