s e n a t u s daily coverage of the united states senate s e n a t u s skip to content home contact older posts may 2 2011 11 42 am a personal note effective today i ll no longer be posting updates to this blog and its corresponding twitter feed operating this site for just shy of four years now has made the decision a tough one it s become increasingly difficult to keep up with all that is going on in the senate since this has remained a hobby of mine and has not materialized into paid work i ve done everything by myself from day one which has also made it more of a challenge to step away from things on a consistent basis when needed without falling behind for some my coverage of the senate has become something they relied on to keep up with various issues for that i am humbled and grateful my goal has always been to keep people informed in an up to date fashion i don t feel i can maintain that level of commitment any longer while juggling the various other aspects of daily life it s been fun getting to interact online with some great reporters who work at the capitol and around d c i would especially like to thank those writing for politico the hill talking points memo the washington post roll call cq the huffington post national journal hotline on call and of course the wire services for their excellent reporting they are all tremendously hard working and talented individuals who made what i did possible i d also like to thank those senate press offices who were kind enough to be responsive to an unknown blogger such as myself and of course c span without which floor coverage would not have been possible on a final personal note for those interested i live and work in oklahoma in the legal profession that explains my at times incessant twitter updates about ou football i m 27 years old and happily married thanks again to all for your support and god bless josh 29 comments filed under misc may 1 2011 9 11 am rubio says no to 2012 ticket ben smith calls the following a pretty shermanesque statement from senator marco rubio r fl regarding the 2012 presidential race rubio no i m not going to be on a ticket in 2012 gregory under no circumstances rubio under no circumstances that s from an interview airing today on nbc s meet the press 1 comment filed under election sunday shows may 1 2011 9 02 am graham supports taking qadhafi out senator lindsey graham r sc said sunday he supports taking out muammar qadhafi politico reports following reports saturday that one of qadhafi s sons and three grandsons may have been been killed in nato attacks graham said the allies should be doing more to take out the libyan leader wherever qadhafi goes he is a legitimate military target graham said on fox news sunday he s the command and control source he s not the legitimate leader of libya and the way to get this to end is to go after the people around him and his support system asked whether such a move would be illegal international law prohibits the assassination of national leaders graham said plainly and clearly he believed qadhafi has forfeited that title and therefore that immunity in my view he s not a foreign leader he s a murderer graham said leave a comment filed under libya sunday shows april 30 2011 12 03 pm doma repeal has enough votes for committee passage new support for legislation that would repeal the defense of marriage act assures that the necessary votes are in place for a favorable senate committee vote on the measure as advocates maintain hearings should take place first before advancing the bill the washington blade reports last week the respect for marriage act legislation sponsored by sen dianne feinstein d calif that would repeal the 1996 anti gay law that prohibits federal recognition of same sex marriage gained two additional co sponsors sens tom harkin d iowa and herb kohl d wis kohl s support for the legislation is critical because he s a member of the senate judiciary committee and would have a vote when the roll is called to move the legislation to the floor lynn becker a kohl spokesperson said the senator had previously considered doma a state issue meanwhile sen amy klobuchar d minn another member of the senate judiciary committee has also said she d vote for repeal of doma in committee although she s stopped short of co sponsoring the legislation last month the minnesota independent reported that the senator would back the respect for marriage act in a statement provided to the washington blade klobuchar confirmed that legislation to repeal the defense of marriage act has her support the support from kohl and klobuchar means that the respect for marriage act has at least 10 votes in the senate judiciary committee enough to advance the bill to the senate floor timing of any vote is uncertain despite having the votes in the senate judiciary committee imminent plans that exist for the respect for marriage act in the panel are unclear erica chabot a senate judiciary committee spokesperson said she was unable to communicate with chair patrick leahy d vt during the congressional recess about his plans advocates working to advance the legislation say hearings should take place before the bill is sent to the senate floor to follow regular order and build additional support even if the bill is reported to the senate floor significant hurdles remain in passing the legislation ending a filibuster in the senate requires 60 votes so at least seven republicans would have to vote in favor of ending debate on the measure more information on feinstein s
