McConnell blocks SCHIP from going to conference committee

Submitted by Dave Meyer on September 4, 2007 - 8:08pm

Senator McConnell took to the floor this morning to decry partisanship, claiming that "making laws often demands leaving the politics aside" and attacking the "thin list of significant legislative achievements so far in the 110th Congress." He then turned around and obstructed efforts to move forward on SCHIP, objecting to the appointment of conferees. The man just has no principle whatsoever, and he obviously thinks Kentuckians are too stupid to follow his crazy little games.

McConnell said that "Cooperation is as important on routine business as it is on contentious things." There is nothing more routine than the appointment of conferees, yet this is the third time in three months that Senator McConnell's Republicans have used the tactic. McConnell refused to appoint conferees to finalize the implementation of 9/11 Commission Recommendations, though the legislation passed the Senate 60-38; he refused to appoint conferees on ethics reform, which passed the Senate 96-2. And now SCHIP, which passed with 17 Republican votes, 67-32.

This whole deal has long since moved from comedy to farce. It's so hard to believe, even of Senator McConnell, that someone with such an incredible history of vicious partisanship would make the arguments he's making.
