Senators Reid & Coburn spar over delay of continuing resolution

See notes from my FNC colleague Kara Rowland:

REID, on the (bipartisan) continuing resolution

If I have to file cloture earliest we can have a vote Thursday

We’re going to finish the CR and we’re going to finish the budget before Easter recess – that’s a fact

So everyone should understand that delaying on this because they want to read the bill more I guess … doesn’t make much sense

Just when you think it can’t get worse

I am stunned

On the eve of getting something done through regular order

(Note this is the continuing resolution authored by Shelby and Mikulski to prevent a govt shutdown)

 

Coburn

We got this bill last night at 9pm. It’s a 500-page bill.

We just heard the majority leader says he can’t understand why someone would want to read this bill

To not allow us the time to assess what you have been produced by being able to read and study the bill … is really going against the best traditions of the Senate

And also common sense

I’m going to study this bill

We’ve got three members’ staffs working full time investigating, looking at this bill.

I’m not going to allow it until I know what the agreement’s going to be in terms of amendments …

This is an appropriations bill. We ought to be able to offer amendments on our ideas to save this nation money … and still meet the deadline

To ask anything less of us… you’re asking us to deny the very oath we took when we got here
