Its almost as if they are trying to scare us: Vote Republican and we’ll do our worst!
Carol Browner, the White House’s top energy and environmental adviser, refused on Sunday to shut the door on passing climate change legislation this year — even though Senate Democratic leaders have conceded they lack the votes and have punted on the volatile issue.
Browner said on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that President Barack Obama is still committed to pushing the bill through the Senate, and that there was “potential” for the bill to come up in a post-election, lame-duck session of Congress…
Careful there, Ms. Browner, you don’t want to spark a revolution – and trying to ram through Congress a series of bills which were essentially just rejected by the voters would cause a wave of outrage and revulsion in the United States. Wait for the votes to be cast – if Democrats retain a full Congressional majority, then no harm/no foul in using a lame duck session…but if either or both houses go GOP, then in propriety no major issue should be taken up until the new Congress is sworn in.
