For now anyways, but that will do for the moment. A hearty congrats to Senators DeMint and Coburn!
News came in yesterday that Tom Coburn and Jim DeMint had successfully
negotiated a clean continuing resolution for the remaining
appropriations bills in the Senate. There were talks with GOP Leadership and the big-spending appropriators to attach a clean Military Quality approps bill to the CR, but
the appropriators balked, refusing to let a couple of freshman senators
push them around. In the end, ironically and deliciously, a couple of
freshman senators pushed them around.
