“Why Do We Have This Today Happening?”
The House began debating Democratic energy legislation this morning and — news flash — it’s not going to be bipartisan. Rep. Mary Fallin’s comments early today made that clear from the outset:
In fact, House Republican Leader John Boehner, of Ohio, yelled on the House floor that the bill “won’t do a damn thing.”
But Rep. Dan Boren, a conservative, pro-drilling Democrat from Muskogee, is expected to vote for the bill, according to his spokesman. Boren is expected to be the only one of the five U.S. House members from the state to support the legislation. Boren is a member of the conservative Blue Dog group that Fallin mentioned in her remarks.
At this point, it looks like the final vote will be some time after 8 p.m. eastern time.
