Get 'em. I got a virtual non response from Bayh's office the other day. Might not be a bad idea to be as tough on the R's too.
Senate Democrats are debating whether Sens. Russ Feingold (D-Wis.) and Evan Bayh (D-Ind.) should be punished for opposing a $410 billion omnibus.
Some Senate Democrats, including members of the Appropriations Committee, are angry that Feingold and Bayh have panned the massive spending bill after legislative priorities important to both lawmakers were included in the package.
One Democratic senator familiar with the discussions said his colleagues are irked that they “bent over backwards” to include provisions important to Feingold and Bayh, only to have both lawmakers slam the omnibus.
The question of whether the two senators, both of whom are up for reelection in 2010, deserve to be punished is important because it could determine future policy within the Democratic Conference.
