Today in Washington D. C. - Oct 24, 2007
From Senate sources: The Senate floor this morning will be dominated by debate over the nomination of Judge Leslie Southwick to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals. Following debate, the Senate will vote on invoking cloture on the nomination and if cloture is invoked, the Senate will then vote on confirming Judge Southwick.
The Senate will proceed to debate on the motion to proceed to S. 2205, the DREAM Act.Following debate, the Senate will vote on cloture on the motion to proceed to the DREAM Act and if cloture is invoked, they may vote today on the act.
Time is running out not only to make permanent the ban on Internet access taxes, but also on a fix to the alternative minimum tax (AMT). The IRS must prepare its tax forms for the next tax year soon and Senate Republicans want to fix the AMT before that happens. Inspite of Democrats' rhetoricpromising AMT relief, but their track record has been disappointing.
Yesterday the Senate passed the fiscal 2008 Labor-HHS-Education appropriations bill after rejecting a motion by Republican Leader Mitch McConnell to send the bill back to committee and pare the funding until it matches the president’s funding request.
