McCaskill: Off a Cliff

Our Brian Beutler is up on the Hill following the latest on the Financial Reform voting. McCaskill just said this …

“So we were going along very well, we were smooth sailing, we were having an open amendment process, Democrats were voting for some Republican amendments, and a few Republicans were voting for Democratic amendments. And it appears that we somehow in the last hour fell off a cliff. I hope I’m wrong, but if all of a sudden the other side is saying we’re going to change the game now and now that we’ve gotten all these Republican amendments voted on, we’re not going to let any more of the Democratic substantive amendments come up.”
