At 8:30 we gaveled in and out again until 5:00. The entire day was full of committee meetings, subcommittee meetings, and appropriations subcommittee meetings. As for action on the floor, well, zip. Perhaps I've mentioned it before, but there's a funnel date coming up. This means that most bills need to be out of committees so the committees are pumping iron right now.
A time will (hopefully) come when these bills come to the floor for debate. It seems to me that any split-party vote in the House will be at least amended in the Senate, which then comes back to the House for approval of the amendment. Naturally, this process takes time, and we'll soon be halfway through the session. I know that lots of work is being done in committees, but it's just no fun for me. Okay. I'm done pouting now.
