That�s one of the bills that shouldn�t have amendments on it.

It has two:

quote:

SA 928. Mr. LEE submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by him
to the bill H.R. 1327, to extend authorization for the September 11th
Victim Compensation Fund of 2001 through fiscal year 2092, and for
other purposes; which was ordered to lie on the table; as follows:

Strike paragraph (1) of section 2(a) and insert the
following:

(1) in subsection (c), by striking ``$4,600,000,000'' and
all that follows through ``expended'' and inserting
``$10,180,000,000 for the period of fiscal years 2019 through
2029, and $10,000,000,000 for the period of fiscal years 2030
through 2092, to remain available until expended''; and

SA 929. Mr. PAUL submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by
him to the bill H.R. 1327, to extend authorization for the September
11th Victim Compensation Fund of 2001 through fiscal year 2092, and for
other purposes; which was ordered to lie on the table; as follows:

SEC. 5. SEQUESTRATION.

(2) the term ``nonexempt direct spending'' means all direct

Have to read the bill to find out what the Lee amendment does.

I think the Paul amendment is related to the debt ceiling deal. I heard one of the things it does is repeal the the massive cuts from the last debt limit showdown in 2011. So Paul tacked those cuts on the 9/11 compensation bill. Everyone votes it down because gently caress that bullshit. And Paul goes out to talk about he's the only Senator who was willing to make the tough vote for fiscal responsibility.

gently caress Rand Paul.

ZombieApostate: Mar 13, 2011; Sorry, I didn't read your post.

I'm too busy replying to what I wish you said

Every article I've seen says Lee and Paul each proposed an amendment but they were defeated.

edit: from the Vox article:

quote:

A day later, however, the two reached an agreement with Senate leaders to vote on the bill in exchange for votes on two other amendments, one from Paul and the other from Lee. Paul�s amendment proposed offsetting the prices of the bill by cutting other programs. The Senate rejected Paul�s amendment 22-77. Lee�s amendment capped the bill to authorizing $10.2 billion for the fund over the next 10 years, and then an additional $10 billion after that. It was also shut down 32-66.

To clarify, Congress.gov doesn't update bill information until like three calendar years after things have changed, so those amendments might not have been on the final bill.

Come to think of it, since the bill is on its way to Anger Mango, they can't have been because amending the bill would have sent it back to the House.

Trump is suing New York State and a congressman to keep his NY state tax returns private.

quote:

President Trump sued House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Richard E. Neal (D-Mass.) and New York officials Tuesday to block any release of his state tax returns to the House under a state law passed this month.

In a 25-page lawsuit filed as a private citizen in federal court in Washington, Trump called the new law unconstitutional and alleges that it is part of a campaign to expose his private information for political gain.

The TRUST Act, signed by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo (D) and enacted July 7, allows New York tax officials to turn over Trump�s state tax returns to three House committees, provided the New York officials receive requests citing a �specified and legitimate legislative purpose.�

The fresh legal action joins a tide of courtroom battles waged by the president to shield his personal finances from investigators, including congressional Democrats, state lawmakers and regulators.

ignores the large amount of scorn this places on feces and fails to recognize the hard work it does to fertilize plants all over the world. On top of that the statement
