Crapo objects to votes on Sanders amdts and moves to waive points of order
Senator Sanders asked
unanimous consent to vote on Sanders amendment #2114 and Sanders amendment
#2155. Senator Crapo objected.
Senator Sanders then made a
point of order that the pending measure violates section 4106 of H.Con.Res.71,
the concurrent resolution on the budget for fiscal year 2018. Senator Crapo
made a motion to waive all applicable points of order. There will be a roll
call vote on the motion to waive prior to passage of the bill.
At 3:45pm, all post-cloture
time will expire and the Senate will dispose of any pending amendments. We
expect Senator Crapo to withdraw the only pending amendment (SA #2152-date
change). Then there will be a roll call vote on the McConnell for Crapo
amendment #2151, as modified (substitute) and a cloture vote on the underlying
bill.
There is a members only
briefing from 4:30pm until 5:30pm today. We expect to recess for the briefing.
There is a chance we have up
to 3 roll call votes following the briefing (5:30pm or later tonight), but
those have not been set yet. If no agreement can be reached, the votes could
occur around 6:00am tomorrow morning.
