Professor's monthly Congressional Scorecard
I started this last month as to inform my readers of the actions within the Congress. My scoring is by steps, forward, backward and no step. Last month, August, the Congress with all its stuff had taken a step backwards since coming to power in January.
This is the scorecard for September.
Pandering to Patraeus--backwards
Failure of the funds measure--backwards
Condemnation of MoveOn.org--backwards
Failure of the representation of DC--backwards
Airline Passengers bill--forward
Feingold's set date for withdrawal measure--forward
SCHIP legislation--forward
Partitioning of Iraq--forward (but I am being polite. I do not see this as a good measure, but at least they are trying.)
Vote on tightening sanctions on Iran--forward
House withdrawal plan that does not require a withdrawal--backwards
Failure of measure to require more time at home for troops--backwards
And the score is! 6 steps backwards, 5 forward.
The Congress has taken yet another step backwards. this is not what they were elected to do
REMINDER: This will be a monthly feature, so watch for it and see just how your Congress is doing. So far, in the two months of analysis the Congress has taken 2 steps backwards! Not what they were mandated to do, right?
