Reply #25: Senator Reid objected to the Foreign Relations Committee meeting [View All]

[housewolf]

Frist asked for a "unanimous consent" order that the Senate committees could meet while the senate was in session this morning. Reid objected to the Foreign Relations committee meeting. Apparantly, much chaos took over the senate. With that, Frist called the senate into recess and scheduled a vote for 2:15. That cancelled out the order for the committees to meet and also Reid's objection.

Then about an hour later, Barbara Boxer objected to the Senate going into recess while other Senate Commitees meet. That meant that other Senators were required to vote on whether to go into recess or not.

All that forced the committee meeting to be delayed.

The Dems in the committee meeting said that they (meaning the Dems on the committee) were not responsible for the first action. Barbara Boxer admitted in the committee meeting that she did the second one because she didn't understand what was going on.
