Interesting, one house meddling in the other house's business. But I like it.
Liberal hero Alan Grayson — who’s suddenly a national figure thanks to his high-octane tirades against Republicans — is joining the campaign to pressure Harry Reid to get tougher with Senate Dems who might join the GOP health care filubuster.
I’m told Dem Rep. Grayson will hold a press conference this afternoon in D.C. to unveil a petition to Reid bearing more than 90,000 signatures, collected by the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, insisting that “any Democratic senators who support a Republican attempt to block a vote on health care reform should be stripped of their leadership titles.”
Reid’s office has strongly protested this pressure campaign, saying that it won’t have an impact, because the Dem caucus reaches decisions on legislation together. That only prompted further demands from the left that Reid “lead.”
