House Rules Committee Tables Rule on VRA Renewal,
Meaning the Rule for Debating (and Possibly Amending) H.R. 9 Will Have
to Be Renegotiated
Last night the Rules Committee voted to table
H. Res. 878, which had provided for the rule on debate of VRA renewal
(that's the deal that allowed two proposed amendments, the Norwood
amendment and the Westmoreland amendment). It appears then that the
details of the VRA renewal debate will have to be renegotiated, and
that's likely not to happen until after the July 4 recess.
