Talk about hypocrisy!! Remember that "all nighter" last week because the obstructionist Democrats were blocking Codpieces fanatic judicial appointments? How the world turns on a dime and lo and behold notice who NOW is blocking Codpieces agenda.. _____________________________________________________ Overtime pay changes focus of budget battle in Congress WASHINGTON (AP) — A Bush administration effort to exempt thousands of white-collar workers from federal overtime pay protections is pitting Senate Republicans against their House colleagues and blocking future funding for most government programs. Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., who faces a tough re-election battle next year, is leading the fight against the overtime pay changes, saying millions of workers will see their paychecks cut if the plan is implemented. The issue is especially important in his home state, where organized labor has muscle. "The regulation which the Department of Labor has is just going to eliminate a lot of overtime for a lot of people, and with the economy being in its current shape, that would be very, very unwise," Specter said Thu • Senate opponents block energy bill - Senate opponents block energy bill WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate opponents blocked Congress from finishing its energy bill Friday, dealing a severe setback to President Bush's proposal to redirect the nation's energy agenda toward more production of oil, gas, coal and corn-based ethanol. Sen. John Sununu, R-N.H., was one of six Republicans who joined Democrats in opposing the bill. Critics of the bill, both Democrats and Republicans, said it would provide too many favors to industry and hinder cleanup of water fouled by a gasoline additive.
