| Lieberman-Warner: GOP And The Art of Stalling |

"The vast majority of scientists do not believe that anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions are a major contributor to global warming." Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.), at the beginning of his statement yesterday during floor debate on the Climate Security Act. We're now well into the second day of deliberations on the Lieberman-Warner bill, and to say thing are not going smoothly would be quite the understatement. As we write this, a tag team of Senate clerks are reading a 491-page substitute amendment to the 157-page bill. Ninety-nine percent of the time, the reading of an entire amendment such as this is waived and entered into record by a quick vote. Not this time. Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) objected to the amendment -- proposed by Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) -- as being taken as read. He said his colleagues haven't had enough time to read the amendment, which Boxer released two weeks ago. Which is how we ended up here, watching a beleaguered public servant reading the entire document on C-SPAN2 to a very empty Senate chamber. If Republicans don't relent, this this is going to take over 10 hours. Needless to say, it's good to see the GOP focusing on what's important here. McConnell's successful attempt to shut down deliberation comes after the GOP forced 30 hours of debate on the motion to proceed. So after two days of stall tactics, we may finally get to meaningful debate on the amendments by sometime tomorrow. The 30-hour discussion on whether to proceed did include some interesting moments, most of which have been wonderfully covered by Climate Progress. They've included analysis of the several dozen senators who spoke yesterday and this morning, including Inhofe's speech, which "may set the record for most misstatements in Senate history." Essentially, the GOP is doing a great job staying on message, warning of higher energy and gas prices and the largest tax in American history if the bill is approved. The Democrats are going to have to get organized in a hurry. If they can't, the leadership should just pull an already-diluted piece of legislation and wait for next time. Comments (61)

One Sunday womens timberland boots morning, I was told that someone was waiting for me in timberland 6 boots office. The young person who answered the rectory timberland boots door said that it was "the woman who said she left all the notes." When I saw her mens timberland boots I was shocked, since I immediately recognized her from church but had no timberland boots outlet idea that it was she who wrote the notes. She was sitting in a chair in timberland roll top boots office with her hands folded in her lap. Her head was bowed and when she raised white timberland boots it to look at me, she could barely smile without pain. Her face was disfigured, and timberland classic boat skin so tight from surgical procedures that smiling or laughing was very difficult for her timberland kids waterproof boots . She had suffered terribly from treatment to remove the growths timberland shoes that had so marred her face. We chatted for a while that Sunday morning and agreed to meet for timberland womens premium boots lunch later that week. As it turned out we went to lunch several timberland boots women times, and she always wore a hat during the meal. I think that treatments of some timberland shoe company sort had caused a lot of her hair to fall out. We shared things about our lives. I told her about my women timberland shoes schooling and growing up. She told me that she had worked for timberland 6 inch years for an insurance company. She never mentioned family, and I did not ask. I have thought about her timberland mens custom often over the years and how she struggled in a society that places an incredible premium on looks, class, wealth and all the other fineries of life. She suffered from a disfigurement that cannot be made to look attractive. I know that her condition black timberland boots hurt her deeply.CLS http://www.timberland6inch.com/

Yeah, OK, we can be the change that we want to see in the world. But unless powerful people in powerful positions want to be that change as well, nothing's going to change.
So now, finally, there's a place where you can go for news and analysis of politics from an environmental perspective.
