"Kyl’s water-carrying for the Justice Department is untenable."


Arizona Senator puts secret hold on legislation

Via ShadowMonkey comes this story at Think Progress about a stalled update of the Freedom of Information Act. Just who stalled it and why? Emphasis in original.

The man behind the secret hold has now revealed himself: Sen. Jon Kyl (R-AZ). Kyl’s excuse for placing a hold on the bill? Alberto Gonzales’ Justice Department opposes several provisions:

Kyl says the Justice Department is concerned that it could force them to reveal sensitive information.

In a statement Thursday, Kyl said the agency’s “uncharacteristically strong” opposition is reason enough to think twice about the legislation, and he will block a vote until both sides can work out the differences.

Have I mentioned that I am getting annoyed at my Senators?

Although in all fairness, annoyed doesn't begin to describe how I feel about John McCain.
