Roger Marshall is threatening to derail military funding by demanding a vote on his credit card bill, which has enraged Senate Republicans.
Sen. Roger Marshall is back at it, once again threatening to derail military funding by demanding a vote on his and Sen. Dick Durbin’s credit card bill, which has enraged Senate Republicans.
Collins expressed severe concerns because the bill is not germane, or related, to the minibus spending bill and it has not been considered through its committee of origin, otherwise known as “regular order.” Sen. Ron Johnson put a hold on the legislation because he objected to bundling multiple appropriations bills together. Despite his process objections, Punchbowl NewsAccording to a Senate source, during the Senate Republican lunch on Wednesday, Members slammed Marshall’s move to politicize the funding bill with his Durbin-led credit card legislation. Some even felt that they should have put a hold on his bill.
“Visa and Mastercard’s duopolistic, heavy-handed market practices have disproportionately hurt American families and small businesses for far too long,” Marshall said at a Wednesday press conference on his proposal.
