The Senate is slated to vote June 10 on Sen. Murkowski's resolution to strip EPA's power to regulate greenhouse gases.

The Senate is slated to vote June 10 on Sen. Lisa Murkowski's (R-Alaska) resolution that strips EPA's power to regulate greenhouse gas emissions, according to Murkowski's office.

Robert Dillon, a spokesman for Murkowski, said the senator struck a deal with Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) Monday night on bringing the filibuster-proof resolution to the floor next month, with a vote expected June 10.

EPA created by Richard Nixon. Wonder if he saw all this coming.

I can’t believe I am supporting legislation proposed by Murkowski. Where are the Republicans on this?

Guess the sooner our civil war starts the better. Our congress seems dead set on causing this thing and they’re doing a superb job.

A vote against this amendment means A VOTE TO DOUBLE YOUR UTILITY BILLS. Can we please run on this issue...please?

I wonder how Blanche Lincoln’s runoff on June 8 will affect her support of the bill?

The word "Showdown" in the article title is particularly accurate.

The lawless immoral cowboys insist on poking and spitting on a nation of professional gunfighters, and they expect us to just smile and ask for another, sir.

OK Coral II coming up on a national scale...

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.
