I’m sure they just meant to shove that stick up Wyden’s amendment, but maybe he’s taken it out of their hands and turned on reform opponents.

It would be a stunning turn-around which is rarely seen in the legislative process.

Evening session part 2

Start at 1:17:00

I don’t think the ownership of our congress has been more luridly revealed than during this mark up.

Kerry even attacks the amendment on the basis that Raytheon is against it. He really seems to deliver a late-night stab in the back. Bingham isn’t much better.
