Just a note for the
record:
On Tuesday the U. S.
House of Representatives voted 257-167 to authorize funding this year for the
Department of Homeland Security. The Senate had previously passed the funding bill, so
it’s a done deal.
Republicans
shouldn't claim much credit for this event, which easily qualifies as a routine act of good government.
Two-thirds of the
Republicans in the House voted AGAINST the bill, because it didn’t include a
nastily partisan attack on President Obama’s recent moves to limit deportations
of immigrants. You know that story.
The bill passed with
the “Yes” votes of only 75 Republicans….every Democrat voted for it.
So Speaker Boehner
should be stepping up to the microphone and proudly describing his
“hands-across-the-aisle” leadership in coordinating the vital support of our
Democratic representatives.
Do you know when
that press conference is scheduled? I haven’t heard anything….
