Video: “Only The Obnoxious Get Their Amendments Heard”

Recently posted on Politico is this video of Senator Mary Landrieu (D-LA) excoriating the Senate leadership — which is made up of members of her own Democratic Party — for not letting her amendments, which she says are non-controversial and bipartisan, to the Gang of Eight immigration bill come up for debate.

For a solid Democrat like Landrieu to express this level of frustration with her own party’s higher-ups is somewhat unusual, and indicates just how broken the process surrounding this bill is.

    In my opinion, it's not just this bill. It used to be that the squeaky wheel gets the oil. In DC now, the grease is coming from the elite.
