Congressman Robert Aderholt

WASHINGTON -- The Army would not be allowed to spend money on new cargo transport gear until a government auditor reviews why the Army stopped buying a product built in Alabama, under a provision adopted by a key House committee. U.S. Rep.  

Congressman Steve Rothman (D-NJ), a member of the House Appropriations Committee, released the following statement: Today, I was proud to speak out against yet another effort by Republicans to restrict the health care rights of women. The amendment introduced in the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Subcommittee markup by Congressman Robert Aderholt (R-AL) to deny reproductive health care women detained by US Immigration and...  

Congressman Robert Aderholt agreed with Warren. "When it comes to disaster relief, I think the federal government should defer to local control of resources as you want to make sure that the rules do not run counter to common-sense," Aderholt said in a statement.  

Wayne commended the efforts of U.S. Congressman Robert Aderholt (AL-04), who has helped broker meetings and worked with the company for several months in an effort to keep it open. Aderholt said he was very disappointed with the news, but hopes the ...

Like Rich’s, my column today also keys off the absurd argument over whether Obama is a big spender (of course he is, and if the Democrats still controlled Congress he undoubtedly would have approved vastly more spending). But I go a slightly different direction. I argue that Romney is under no obligation to defend Bush and the old GOP Congress from the charge that spending went up a lot under Bush. It did. Indeed, looked at historically one...  

The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) kicked the budgetary hornet’s nest with its forecast that the U.S. faces a recession unless action is undertaken to avoid the sharp tax increase and across-the-board spending cuts that will result from the sunset of the 2001/2003 tax laws and Budget Control Act (BCA) sequester, respectively. Of course, this is avoidable if Congress acts to not only avoid the cliff that looms at the end of 2012, but also...  

Well, Cory Booker is no longer the top Obama supporter to go off message about Bain Capital. Talking about private equity firms, Bill Clinton said in an interview tonight, “I don’t think that we ought to get into the position where we say ‘This is bad work. This is good work.’” And that wasn’t all he had to say on the subject, reports CNN: Clinton said there was no question Romney was capable of performing the “essential functions of the...  

Via the FT: …[I]n recent weeks, people briefed on internal debates in Frankfurt and Brussels say another incremental idea has caught the interest of EU officialdom: instead of eurozone bonds, the currency block should start with eurozone bills, short-term debt backed by all 17 euro members.Keep reading this post . . .  

Two hundred years ago today, President James Madison sent Congress a request for a declaration of war. Seventeen days later, after it had passed both houses by narrowish margins (79 to 49 in the House, 19 to 13 in the Senate), Madison signed the declaration. Thus began the conflict that we call the War of 1812 and our opponents in that war, the British, don’t call anything, because they had bigger frogs to fry at the time. The war dragged on...  

I’ve written before (most recently here) about this concocted lawsuit by U.S. trial lawyers who are trying to shake down Chevron for billions over claims that the company polluted Ecuador rainforests, left abandoned oil fields un-remediated, caused medical misery for countless locals, and plenty of other hoo-ha. There’s a lot of money at stake (a number of deep-pocketed lefties have bankrolled this baloney, and are expecting a return on their...  

Watch Representatative Jim Jordan (R., Ohio), chairman of the Subcommittee on Regulatory Affairs, Stimulus Oversight, and Government Spending, question John Woolard, president and CEO of BrightSource Energy, about using political influence in order to receive $1.6 billion from the Department of Energy loan-guarantee program during a May 16 hearing. <br /> That’s how cronyism works, people...  

Late last night, Tuesday, May 29, the Financial Times broke the story that the European Central Bank (ECB) had rejected Spain’s original plan for injecting €19 billion into Spain’s beleaguered Bankia. To underscore the extraordinary nature of this story, it came out around 5 p.m. Eastern time, or about midnight in Europe. Europeans only work at midnight if they’re on the graveyard shift or during a crisis, which in the current crisis may seem...  

Huzzah! The airwaves will crackle tomorrow with weekend wisdom brought to you via your local radio station (or the web, here) by Larry and his merry band of fiscal savants, including Senator Ron Johnson, Congressman Kevin Brady, NR’s own Bob Costa, Michael Farr, Michael Ozanian, David Malpass, John Silvia, Steve Moore, Jennifer Rubin, and the great James Pethokoukis, who, truth be told, may not be so merry when they discuss The grim jobs...  

Madison, Wis. — Tom Morello, the guitarist for Rage Against the Machine, hosted a “Recall Ball” tonight at the Madison Labor Temple. Hundreds of union heavies and Occupy-types attended the outdoor concert, which featured droning acoustic covers of union tunes and beer — lots of beer. It was billed as a family event, and many young children dotted the lawn, but the language of Morello and other performers was quite blue. Within the opening half...  

This morning a panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit issued an opinion holding the Federal Defense of Marriage Act unconstitutional. The court rejected the implausible argument of the trial court that that principles of federalism prevented Congress from defining terms used in federal law. It also declined the invitation to treat a law that considers the category of “sexual orientation” as equivalent to race (i.e. by...  

The House of Representatives has just voted 246–168 in favor of H.R. 3541, Representative Trent Franks’s bill to ban sex-selection abortions in the United States. While the margin supporting the Prenatal Nondiscrimination Act was nearly 80-members strong, the bill did not pass because it was brought up under rules requring a two-thirds vote of members present to secure passage. This is the first time the Congress has held a floor vote on the...  

If, as is claimed, President Obama is the tightest tightwad since Ike, you’ll be relieved to hear those throw-granny-off-the-cliff Republicans still like to splash it around: The Republican-controlled House of Representatives, which took office in January 2011, has enacted federal spending bills under which the national debt has increased more in less than one term of Congress than in the first 97 Congresses combined.Keep reading this post...  

Democrat Tom Barrett, Governor Walker’s recall foe, says he doesn’t mind: But Barrett says he never asked the president to come here for him.

Though AAR Summa is still scheduled to completely shut down manufacturing by July, a new development in the U.S. Defense Appropriations bill will at least have the Army take another look at the Cullman-based manufacturing plant’s non-renewed contract for a transportation and storage device, which was awarded to a Canadian company earlier this year.
