Newsmax.com - Former Sen. Gregg: Reid Is Ruining Senate Process!

The Senate traditionally has given the minority party more say than in the House, but this distinction is beginning to disappear under the autocracy of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., says former Sen. Judd Gregg.

“The Senate is the place where the capacity to debate and amend proposed legislation is virtually limitless,” the New Hampshire Republican writes in The Hill. “This is the way it is supposed to be. This is the way it used to be. But with the advent of Democratic control of the Senate under the leadership of Sen. Harry Reid this has changed fundamentally. There is no longer an open amendment process and not even a great deal of open debate.”

Reid has accomplished the change through “filling the tree,” which allows the majority leader to choke off the amendment process, Gregg says. Traditionally this method has been used sparingly. But “it is now an everyday event, a weapon wielded with autocratic excess” he says....

Jim Bender, Republican candidate for US Senate released this statement regarding Senator Judd Gregg’s decision to vote for the nomination of Elena Kagan to the United States Supreme Court.

“I am disappointed with Senator Judd Gregg’s decision today to vote for Elena Kagan’s nomination to the Supreme Court,” said Bender.   “Elena Kagan has no judicial record.  A mistake made on a Supreme Court nomination is a mistake for life.  I will go to Washington to make sure our Supreme Court justices will follow the Constitution and bring back trust and accountability to our government.”

Jim Bender, Republican candidate for US Senate released this statement on today’s Senate Judiciary Committee vote to approve the nomination of Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court sending final approval to the full senate for consideration. 

 “I call on Senator Judd Gregg to stand up and filibuster this nomination, because that is exactly what I would do if I were a United States Senator; fight for the constitution and the people of New Hampshire,” said Bender.  “Kagan is a blank slate. She has neither the experience of a judge nor the judicial qualifications to evaluate, since she has never presided over a single case.  Therefore, it would be irresponsible for the Congress to confirm her nomination.  I will go to Washington to make sure our Supreme Court justices will follow the Constitution and bring back trust and accountability to our government.”

NHDP - SENATOR GREGG HELPS KELLY GET COZY WITH WALL STREET SPECIAL INTERESTS

Gregg Intervenes to Ensure Wall Street Support for Washington GOP Politician Kelly Ayotte

CONCORD - As Democrats in Congress continue to try and pass real Wall Street reform, news broke over the weekend that Sen. Judd Gregg intervened to ensure that a major Wall Street bank threw its support behind Kelly Ayotte, instead of one of her Republican opponents.

According to the Nashua Telegraph, Sen. Gregg, one of the most outspoken opponents to the current reform bill, stepped in to protest when Wall Street giant Deustche Bank announced it would host a fundraiser for Republican Senate candidate Bill Binnie. Gregg, one of the many establishment Republicans in Washington supporting Ayotte, pressured the bank to cancel the fundraiser. Deutsche Bank has since held a fundraiser for Ayotte, as have other major Wall Street banks [Nashua Telegraph, 7/11/10].

"With a little help from Sen. Gregg, we now know why Republican politician Kelly Ayotte opposes Wall Street reform," said Emily Browne, Press Secretary for the New Hampshire Democratic Party. "She's diligently following in the footsteps of Sen. Gregg, keeping the big banks on speed dial to stop real reform. Ayotte is just another Republican politician, swayed by the deep pockets of special interests instead of the real concerns of Granite Staters."

The reform bill being debated in Congress right now would permanently end taxpayer-funded bailouts, reign in executive pay, and ensure no bank ever becomes 'too big to fail.' Gregg and other Washington Republicans have done everything they can to stop reform from reaching the Senate floor.

"Instead of standing up to the special interests and Washington Republicans orchestrating her campaign, Kelly Ayotte has yet again quietly fallen in line with them and refused to be a tough and independent voice for the Granite State," said Browne.
