Later this afternoon, the Senate will consider the McConnell-Inhofe amendment and three Democratic alternatives. Sens. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Jim Inhofe (R-OK) are trying to prevent the EPA from instituting a backdoor cap-and-trade scheme through the agency’s power to regulate greenhouse gases. Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) has predicted 13-15 Democratic votes for McConnell-Inhofe. Will he be right?
UPDATE: Evidently not. McConnell-Inhofe failed on a 50-50 vote, 10 short of the 60 the amendment needed.

Counting the Costs of Clintonism
The debacle of this president’s administration is both a cause and a symptom of the decline of American values. Unless Congress impeaches him, that decline will go on unchecked. An eminent jurist surveys the damage and assesses the chances for the recovery of our culture.

May this put the whole man-made global warming scam to rest. Now lets start drilling in ANWR and lets start becoming energy independent. Imagine the money the US could make by becoming a major oil and gas exporter.

I am guessing McConnell-Inhofe will prevail and some liberal flatulence polluter will file a lawsuit.

The Marxists in our country don't want us to be energy self-sufficient because it would make it more difficult for them to take over.
They have to destroy our system in order to replace it with Marxism

Rein in nothing. Cut the funding back to 2000 levels or better still eliminate this costly counterproductive agency altogether.
