But when Leahy attempted to bring up the bill Thursday under a process that requires the unanimous consent of senators, Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., objected. DeMint’s office did not respond to requests for a comment Thursday.
WASHINGTON — A Senate proposal that would allow family members of the 11 rig workers who died during the April 20 BP rig explosion to seek the same legal compensation available for land-based accidents stalled Thursday.
some repubs were for earmarks before they were against them
jim demint says he is not really against the bill.
demint is refusing consent for other anonymous senators. lol.
congress regulates legal compensation in the court system.
I can go pretty low. look at my picture.
yes, give him time.
You do realize that the Democrat party still has a majority until January?
He is the essence of conservatism. Show no compassion.
WHY IN THE F IS CONGRESS EVEN DEALING WITH THIS!?!?!?!?!
This is a matter for civil court, for GOD’S SAKE!
Why must they be involved in every freaking thing!? I’m getting so pissed off right now… I’m going to go take an asprin and lay down for a while.
But, what other pork is being pushed with this bill?
Are we really surprised? Repugs blocked a bill a few months ago to guarantee health care to the 9/11 responders who have lung ailments from inhaling dust.
The only people the government can give money to is the wealthy, you know.
Why does the federal government pay them anything. BP should pay them compensation. Man. Is there anything the tax payers don’t get stuck with? What are we? This is not our responsibility.
No compassion. My goodness you people are ridiculous.
I would like to see the reasoning behind his objection.
