All Four House Amendments to VRA Fail; Final Vote Now
Taking Place
There
is no question that H.R. 9 will now pass, unamended, in the House. The
action will now shift to the Senate, where hearings are ending. Senate
Judiciary Committee chair Specter had previously said he wanted to get
the bill out of committee and to the floor by the end of the month. It
is on the agenda
for the Judiciary Committee's July 13 hearing. We'll see if the bailout
amendment or any others will be offered on the Senate side.
