“The pitched battle over a relatively unknown federal agency further inflamed the Republican Party’s ideological feud as the Senate voted Sunday to extend the life of the Export-Import Bank over intense conservative objections. On a roll-call vote of 67 to 26, the chamber included language in a federal highway bill that would renew the charter of the bank… The vote split the GOP caucus almost evenly and exposed a deep division among the party’s leaders and presidential contenders. ‘We serve the people, not our own egos,’ Sen. Orrin G. Hatch (Utah), a 39-year member of the chamber, said before the vote… The Senate floor, Hatch said, ‘has been misused as a tool to advance personal ambitions, a venue to promote political campaigns, and even a vehicle to enhance fundraising efforts, all at the expense of the proper functioning of this body.’” - Washington Post, 7/26/2015 |
