The Senate is debating whether or not the Congressional Review Act’s provisions apply to California’s Clean Air Act waivers, which attempt to impose electric-vehicle mandates on the country at large. The Senate parliamentarian has so far deferred to the bureaucrats at the Government Accountability Office to say that they don’t apply, and I have written about why this is incorrect. But as Republicans sprint to the finish line, Democrats have opened up the spigots on their crocodile tears over what this will do to the legislative filibuster. Their latest argument is both wrong and almost funny in its lack of self-awareness.
The Democrats’ latest argument comes via Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, ranking member of the Environment and Public Works Committee.
