Harry Reid: Amendments To Legislation Should Be Germane To That Legislation…

...unless it’s convenient for the Democrats for them not to be.

Here’s Harry talking in January of this year:

I also recognize that we have a process in the Senate where bills can be amended. Sometimes they don’t have to be relevant or germane. But I think you have to be in the ballpark.

Now here’s Harry putting Iraq legislation in a water bill:

WASHINGTON (CNN)—The top Democrat in the Senate announced Monday he is moving two major Iraq votes into an unrelated water bill, a decision that could clear the way for an Iraq funding vote as early as this week.

Congress is under a deadline to pass billions in war funding by Memorial Day, but a Senate debate over attaching timelines could delay the process.

Gotta love those consistent Democrats.

The Dems should be fined for all of the trees they are killing. How many times are they going to bring this up.
