If i recall, that bill was in the senate for a week... and there wasn't any legislation waiting in the queue.
Right now we have a bunch of bills up for consideration that have been taking up slots for weeks or even months all while the queue loads up to unmanageable levels. Furthermore, many of these bills are completely unnecessary when you consider how they're impeding any real progress in getting things done.
I also find it a little funny (in the komisch, not lustig sense) that Antonio tried to catch me with this zinger, considering it is his social security bill that has been taking up a slot for 3 months now. The whole thing probably should be rewritten and resubmitted in whole, if not in pieces, in order to pass it in a timely manner... but there it sits.
At this pace, my education bill won't come up until it's too late for local school districts to set their budgets for next year, which would likely lead to the lay off of thousands of teachers even while enrollment grows nationwide. On top of that, there is no reason to tell these teachers they don't have a job only to come back at the last second and say "JUST KIDDING! See ya next year!".
So yeah, I'm a little frustrated. And apparently many of my colleagues agreed with me that this bill was frivolous.
