California Senator Barbara Boxer has had some notable confrontations over the past year in her duties as head of the Environmental and Public Works Committee in the U.S. Senate. Over the summer she dressed down a general for using the standard military protocol of addresses elected officials (namely "ma'am") Later that summer, Madam Boxer would stir up more controversy by playing the race card against Harry Alford, Chairman of the National Black Chamber of Commerce discussing her massive energy tax scheme known as "Cap & Trade".

The cap-and-trade bill is sponsored by EPW Committee Chairwoman Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) and Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.). It would require U.S. emissions curbs of 20 percent by 2020 and 83 percent by 2050. The committee approved the bill with no GOP support.

Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., voted against the measure, arguing that it would require women to buy special riders to purchase abortion coverage. In defending her no vote, Boxer argued that male senators were doing to women something they would never do to men.

Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) on Monday criticized global warming skeptics who have "personalized" both last month's climate change e-mail spat and this week's Copenhagen talks. While the senator acknowledged the strong sentiments pervading this year's debate are valid, she ultimately expressed concern the "personal" could soon "get in the way of the science." Boxer later added that could be especially devastating at a time when lawmakers and the White House are making great progress on emissions standards legislation.

Barbara Boxer said Monday that abortion-rights foes in the U.S. Senate are showing "a lack of respect" for women by promoting legislation that would limit abortions. "Please don't single out women," Boxer said in a speech on the Senate floor. "What have women done to deserve this? ... Why have such a lack of respect for them?" Boxer made the remarks as the Senate prepared to vote on an amendment by Democratic Sen. Ben Nelson of Nebraska that would prohibit any insurance company from offering plans to cover abortion services if they receive federal subsidies.
