There was a CG memo in 2003 requesting a review related to this... as far as I know, nothing happened with it at that time. The CG could have and should have done something sooner. It's disgraceful that it took this long to figure it out. Link to PDF with more info. www.facebook.com/groups/55933...

📌Susan Collins is voting "no" on the repulsive Blanche because she has been given political cover by Thune. Her vote doesn't matter. This isn't a heroic decision, it is pure politics, and whether anybody wants to admit it or not it's how she has survived like a parasite in that chamber for 30 years.
Stolen valor from Mr. Bone Spurs. An insult to every man and woman who has worn the uniform.
Microsoft: $101 BILLION in profits. $12.5 BILLION in tax breaks. $176 BILLION in stock buybacks. 4,800 workers fired this week. 9,000 workers fired last year. Please don't tell me trickle-down economics works. It never did. Nothing trickles down.
You could have voted no on Blanche. Idiot.

The same old Susan Collins charade. As soon as a controversial nominee or a bill has enough votes to pass, she announces she will vote no when it doesn’t matter. She never casts a deciding vote against Trump. Now she will claim this shows how she is so “independent.”
Cornyn on Blanche’s fake agreement: “As to the idea it could be revived in the future, I think it’s highly unlikely that could happen without the cooperation of the DOJ. And I think Blanche gave us the assurances that it was dead and would not be revived and in this case we have no alternative bu...
