Senate was set tomorrow to hold its 1st vote to advance the House-passed 342-92 postal reform bill, but Florida GOP Senator Rick Scott is “threatening to block” a technical correction to be made to the bill by unanimous consent on Monday per Schumer spox.
Schumer spox: “Senate Republicans keep saying they want bipartisanship but one of their leaders is standing in the way of the Senate from taking action this week on historic, bipartisan Postal Service Reform.”
Schumer spox: “As it has been reported, the House of Representatives made a minor clerical error when it sent the bipartisan Postal Service Reform bill to the Senate. House Republicans worked with House Democrats to pass a technical correction by Unanimous Consent on Friday.”
Schumer spox: “Now, Senator Rick Scott is threatening to block the same fix by Unanimous Consent on Monday in the Senate. It is time for Senate Republicans practice what they preach and rein in reckless Rick Scott’s political games so we can pass bipartisan legislation.”
House passed a privileged resolution by unanimous consent during their Friday's pro forma session requesting the "return of the official papers" from the Senate of the postal reform bill they approved 342-92 last week to make the technical correction. congress.gov/congressional-…
House "mailed" the wrong bill to the Senate and it was returned to sender per @PunchbowlNews. Objection in the Senate to fix it by unanimous consent by FL GOP Senator Scott could delay passage of the House-approved postal reform bill before their President's Day break next week.
