Pysco-Wench Strikes Again
From Think Prgress:
***update - Salon.com reports she was just playing her part:
On Monday afternoon, it seemed that one House
Republican, Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann, had indeed moved to support the
Birthers, as liberal blog Think Progress reported that she blocked the bill.This
time, though, Bachmann was being criticized unfairly. She did indeed block a
vote on the resolution, noting the absence of a quorum, but that move wasn't
about Abercrombie's resolution specifically. She was just playing her part. The
House had already decided to postpone the votes on all of the resolutions being
considered under a suspension of the rules until Monday evening. Bachmann noted
the absence of a quorum for several other non-controversial pieces of
legislation so that those votes, too, could be postponed until the scheduled
time.In fact, as a spokeswoman for Bachmann told Salon -- and C-SPAN video of
the congresswoman's remarks on the House floor confirmed -- Bachmann supports
the resolution.After the postponement, on Monday evening the resolution passed
-- unanimously. Bachmann was one of the "yea" votes.
