Republicans Boycott Cap And Trade Committee Meeting Leaving Barbara Boxer All By Herself
Senator Barbara Boxer is pushing ahead with efforts to cram a cap and trade bill through Congress before the campaign’s for next-year’s midterm elections start and paralyze the progress of controversial liberal legislation. Republicans, though, want to slow her down and vowed to protest a committee meeting aimed at furthering cap-and-trade’s progress because Boxer wouldn’t allow time for an economic analysis of the bill.
Senator Boxer pushed ahead with the committee meeting anyway, and this was the result:
Nobody showed up.
Just another moment of unity brought to you by the new spirit of bi-partisanship and cooperation ushered in by Democrats.
