The Washington Monthly
Speaking on Fox News last night, Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT) claimed that
health care reform should not happen because it doesn't enjoy "bipartisan"
support, adding that a bill cannot be bipartisan unless it garners "somewhere
between 75 and 80 votes." [...]
Hatch is hardly the only conservative
senator to float a 75-80 vote supermajority requirement for health reform. Sen.
Chuck Grassley (R-IA), who is currently blocking attempts to fix the health care
system, told the Washington Post that "[w]e ought to be focusing on getting 80
votes."Having said that, have you seen the Dem running against him? The guy has a few screws loose.
OK, it's official: 2010 IA Senate Endorsement: None.
