Following morning business, the Senate will resume consideration of S.1392, the Energy Savings and Industrial Competitiveness Act.

At 10:00am there will be a moment of silence to pay tribute to the victims of the tragic mass shooting at the Washington Navy Yard.

At 11:00am today the Senate will turn to Executive Session to consider the following nominations:

– Executive Calendar #175, the nomination of Patricia E. Campbell-Smith, of the District of Columbia, to be a Judge of the United States Court of Federal Claims and;

– Executive Calendar #176, the nomination of Elaine D. Kaplan, of the District of Columbia, to be a Judge of the United States Court of Federal Claims.

Following the vote on the Kaplan nomination, the Senate will recess until 2:15pm to allow for the weekly caucus meetings.

When the Senate reconvenes at 2:15pm we will resume consideration of the S.1392, the Energy Efficiency bill. We are trying to reach an agreement on a finite list of amendments to move forward on that legislation. Senator Vitter has an amendment dealing with the Affordable Care Act and certain congressional and administration staff. We would have a side by side or second degree amendment to his amendment. In order to reach an agreement to vote on Vitter’s amendment we would need a finite list of amendments to complete action on the bill.

10 Crazy Things the Right Did This Week

09/16/2013 Nativegrl77

By CAP Action War RoomThe summer may be over, but it’s never the end of crazy season when it comes to conservatives–from the silly to the serious.

1. Republicans Threaten To Push Nation Into Default Unless Obama Agrees To Delay Obamacare For One Year: Ironically, the proposition could actually increase the deficit by billions of dollars.
2. Secret Koch Fund Decries ‘Corporate Welfare’ And Stimulus But Funds Their Top Defender: A tax-exempt group claims to fight runaway stimulus spending and “corporate welfare” but gave millions to the Chamber of Commerce, perhaps the top backer of those programs.
3. GOP Tries To Sink Uncontroversial Energy Bill With An Obamacare Amendment: An energy efficiency bill would be the first major energy legislation passed in the Senate since 2007, but Republican amendments aiming to repeal Obamacare threaten to sink a long-awaited bill that has broad bipartisan support.
4. Heritage Puts Anti-Obamacare Billboard In Times Square After State Announces Huge Premium Drop: The message is just the latest political stunt from the organization that first developed the individual health care mandate and later touted Obamacare-like reforms in Massachusetts.
5. The Origins Of An Epidemic: How Right-Wing Religious Communities Give Measles A Chance To Spread: A recent measles outbreak in Texas was traced to an evangelical church that preached against vaccines. That’s not an isolated incident.
6. Five Reasons Congress Can’t Blame The Calendar For Delaying Immigration Reform: House Republicans are telling the media they simply don’t have time to pass immigration reform this year. They’re wrong.
7. Benghazi Conspiracy Rally On Capitol Hill Attracts Dozens Of People: It was meant to be a rallying moment for thousands of conservatives to demand the truth about Benghazi. Less than a hundred bothered to show up.
8. Conservatives Pressure Textbook Publishers To Downplay Existence Of Climate Change, Evolution: Prominent creationists with little scientific background or training are asking publishers include disclaimers about existing scientific theories.
9. Meet The Maryland Republicans Who Want To Secede: The group, which calls itself the Western Maryland Initiative, is dissatisfied with the fact that, in a democracy, people with minority views are frequently outvoted by people with more common views.
10. Mitch McConnell Exploits Syria Conflict For Campaign Fundraising: The letter opened with the claim that Mitch McConnell “does not politicize issues of national security” but went on to argue that the senator’s opposition to the authorization for use of force is “a ringing example of why we need to keep Mitch fighting for us in the United States Senate.”

The Senate stands in adjournment until 9:30am on Thursday, September 12, 2013. Following any Leader remarks, there will be a period of morning business for one hour with the Majority controlling the first half and the Republicans controlling the final half.

Following morning business, the Senate will resume consideration of S.1392, the Energy Savings and Industrial Competitiveness Act.

Senator Vitter proposed two unanimous consent requests and Senator Wyden objected to both.

Request to call up several amendments and vote on Vitter amendment and side-by-side

Senator Vitter asked unanimous consent that the amendments listed below be made pending:

Vitter #1866 (congressional staff and federal employees health care)
Inhofe #1851 (federal purchase requirement)
Bennet #1847 (commercial real estate landlords and tenants)
Udall (CO) #1845 (retrofitting schools)
Klobuchar #1856 (energy efficiency retrofit pilot program)
Sessions #1879 (voluntary certification programs for AC, furnace, boiler, heat pumps)
Enzi #1863 (regional haze program)

That on Tuesday, September 17, at a time to be determined jointly by the Majority and Minority Leaders, there be 60 minutes for debate equally divided between Senators Wyden and Vitter. That the only amendment in order to the Vitter amendment be one offered by the Majority Leader or his designee, both subject to debate under the time limit on the Vitter amendment. That no points of order be in order to these two amendments. That upon the expiration of the debate time the Senate proceed to vote on the Vitter amendment and any pending amendments, with the amendment and any amendments to it be subject to a 60-vote threshold to be agreed to.

Senator Wyden objected.

Senator Vitter later said he would add Blumenthal amendment #1878 (commercial building energy code study) to the list.

Request to vote on Vitter bill with no amendments in order

Senator Vitter asked unanimous consent to withdraw the Vitter amendment #1866 (this doesn’t make sense because the amendment isn’t pending) and that on Wednesday, September 25 at 3:00pm, the Senate discharge the relevant committees from consideration of his bill (didn’t specify bill number), the no exemption for Washington from Obamacare Act, and proceed to consideration of that bill, and that without any intervening motions or debate, the Senate proceed to 60 minutes of debate on that bill, evenly divided and controlled by the Majority Leader and Senator Vitter, and that the bill not be subject to any amendments or motions to commit, and that after debate has expired, the bill be read a third time, and the Senate immediately vote on final passage, and that the motion to reconsider be made and laid upon the table.

Senator Wyden objected.

Senator Franken asked unanimous consent to call up Franken amendment #1855 (energy information for commercial buildings).

Senator Vitter objected.

Senator Sanders asked unanimous consent to set aside the pending amendment in order to call up Sanders amendment #1915 (State residential building energy efficiency upgrades loan pilot program).

Senator Vitter reserved his right to object and asked unanimous consent that the amendments listed below be made pending:

Sanders #1915 (State residential building energy efficiency upgrades loan pilot program)
Bennet #1847 (commercial real estate landlords and tenants)
Udall (CO) #1845 (retrofitting schools)
Klobuchar #1856 (energy efficiency retrofit pilot program)
Franken #1855
Blumenthal #1878
Vitter #1866 (congressional staff and federal employees health care)

Senator Wyden objected.

Senator Vitter then asked consent to vote on his bill next week with no amendments or motions in order.

Senator Wyden objected.

Finally, Senator Vitter objected to Senator Sanders’ original request.

Request to vote on Vitter bill with no amendments in order

Senator Gillibrand asked consent to set aside the pending amendment in order to call up Gillibrand amendment #1860 (disaster relief/emergency assistance for energy efficiency products). Senator Vitter also objected to calling up her amendment and asked consent to call up a series of amendments, and vote on his health care amendment and an alternative. Senator Wyden objected to his request. He then asked the same consent he’s asked several times today to vote on his bill with no amendments in order. Senator Wyden objected to this request. Finally, Senator Vitter objected to Gillibrand’s original request.

The Senate is in a period of morning business with senators permitted to speak therein for up to 10 minutes each.
