Okay, I’ll admit it: I NEVER thought I would thank the House for saving us from the Senate’s stupidity.\u00a0 You may remember that the Senate unanimously passed Marco Rubio’s Sunshine Protection Act to make Daylight Savings time permanent. The vote was very iffy: the bill was introduced, unanimous consent was moved (and not one Senator was awake enough to object!) and so the bill was passed unanimously. Bill passes unanimously<\/a> \u00a0 Guess you could say that the good part was that the usually deadlocked Senate for once came together. The bad part… they came together for nap time.<\/p>\n The main impediments dimming the legislation\u2019s chances of passing appear to be fundamental disagreements over its language and a general consensus that other matter (sic) take precedence as the House grapples with high inflation, gun massacres and fending off judicial threats on issues such as abortion and marriage equality.<\/p>\n \u201cI can\u2019t say it\u2019s a priority,\u201d Rep. Frank Pallone <\/a><\/span>Jr. (D-N.J.), the chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, told The Hill recently.<\/p>\n The legislation\u00a0received a warm welcome<\/a>\u00a0from some House members immediately after it passed the Senate \u2014 Speaker Nancy Pelosi <\/a><\/span>(D-Calif.) said she supported making daylight saving time permanent \u2014 but others noted that there were far more pressing issues to address.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
