U.S. Senator Kelly Ayotte announces the “End Government Shutdown Act”

Senator Ayotte doesn’t want any more inter-party bickering about funding for Planned Parenthood at the expense of a government shutdown. According to her recent radio ad, she’s putting forth the “End Government Shutdown Act” to make sure she keeps her party in line.  This is so fresh that the text isn’t available yet, but they were able to cut a commercial ad for it!

Oddly, she says she is “sickened” by the Planned Parenthood videos and will hold the organization “accountable for their appalling disregard for the dignity of human life” by backing a “full investigation”.

Wow. That is a double whammy of GOPe at work here. First, neutralize the only power the U.S. Congress has by proposing this Act and then second, launch a pointless investigation of Planned Parenthood to satisfy “the base”.

That doesn’t sound at all like maintaining the status quo.
