SENATE DEMOCRATS DELAY G.O.P. ATTEMPT TO FORCE KEYSTONE VOTE.
Democrats in the senate were successful in delaying Republican efforts to force a vote on a bill to approve construction on of the Keystone XL oil pipeline. it was a small victory for the minority part in the senate. It was a procedural vote that is unlikely to prevent the Republicans from eventually approving the pipeline. If/when it is passed in the senate it will most likely be vetoed by President Obama. The vote was a challenge for the majority leader, Mitch McConnell, he moved for a final vote just after a week of debate. Democrats were mad because they said their objections had been cut off. There is concern that the Republican majority is using their power fairly.There has been promise that both sides will try to work together in light of recent events.
