And the Senate's in recess next week (0.00 / 0)
So no changes for another week

Census guy (0.00 / 0)
It boggles the mind that the Republicans are holding up the nomination of Robert Groves seemingly because he is an immensely qualified and well-respected statistician. Who would want that in the head of the Census Bureau? Then again, playing politics with the census is what got Judd Gregg to back out of Commerce, so we escaped a disaster there.
