GOP Senate Leader Mitch McConnell Holding Press Conference To Respond To Reid
The brinksmanship in Washington is escalating, as it were, over the Senate's coming showdown on escalation. Earlier today, Senator Harry Reid released a statement saying that he was scheduling a vote for Saturday on whether to consider the House anti-escalation resolution, which is far more simple and straightforward than the Warner resolution that Republicans succeeded in scuttling debate on recently.
Now, as we speak, GOP Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is holding a press conference to respond to Reid's challenge. More soon.
Update: Reid says that if his motion to get a Senate vote on the House language is successful, he may cancel the Senate's recess next week, which could shake up the campaign plans of Senators running for President.
It was bad enough that Congress is being expected to work five days a week. Now, they might even have to work on Saturday? Next thing we know, they'll be talking about reining in the executive branch. Who is this Congress, and what did they do to the old Congress?

It is evident that the work must be too hard;
therefore, with the logic the President and his supporters expound.
Hire some undocumented workers to write our laws, since they'll do the work Americans won't or don't want to do.
