Senate Republicans are now blocking the Sudan Peace Act. In response to a Senate Democratic appeal for unanimous consent to a House-Senate conference for the bill, the Senate Republican leadership has objected. As of this writing, the bill has again been put in legislative limbo. The House of Representatives, Democrats and Republicans alike, has already approved---by unanimous consent---a conferencing motion, as well as a slate of conferees to work with the Senate. And Senate Democrats are willing to go to conference: the appeal for unanimous consent for conferencing on the Senate side was made by the Democratic whip, Senator Harry Reid (D-NV). But the Senate Republican leadership---and in particular Republican Senate leader Trent Lott (R-MS)---is now obstructing further legislative progress on the Sudan Peace Act. sudanreeves.org No matter how much you try, you know that progressives and liberals are on the side of the angels.
