U.S. Senate Votes Down Murkowski Resolution on Green House Gases

Today, the Senate voted 47-53 on the motion to proceed past debate on Senator Murkowski’s (R-Alaska) resolution of disapproval (S J Res 26). The resolution would have overruled EPA’s green house gas endangerment finding. The resolution needed a simple majority of 51 votes to proceed.

Earlier this week, the White House threatened to veto the resolution if it passed.
