I would be pretty hot about it. and I would have some explaining to do to my constituents. Indeed. the majority leader has allowed so few amendments that one of his fellow Senate Democrats. the junior Senator from Connecticut. recently told Politico: I got more substance on the floor of the House of Representatives in the minority than I have as a Member of the Senate majority. Our colleagues in the House have sent over scores and scores of bills relating to job creation. taxes. health care. immigration. and other issues only to have Senator REID declare them dead on arrival. No wonder Congress has a 14percent approval rating. When people see the dysfunction hereprimarily in the Senate. since the House is passing legislation and then it dies here because the majority leader refuses to take it upit is understandable why they are frustrated. just as we are frustrated.
