Dodd: 'Were Close; We've Got Some More Work To Do'
Appearing on Meet The Press, Sen. Chris Dodd (D-CT) discussed the latest progress in his work with Sen. Richard Shelby (R-AL) on financial reform: "Well, Richard and I spent a lot of time together over the last year and--working on this bill, and we're getting there. We're close; we've got some more work to do. We're going to be meeting, I think, later today, in fact, to talk about it. We're not there yet, but I would hope that, that we could the votes tomorrow on--when we have this motion to proceed to the bill to start the debate."
Shelby: 'Will We Get A Bill By Tomorrow? I Doubt It'
Appearing on Meet The Press, Sen. Richard Shelby (R-AL) said: "I think we're conceptually very, very close. This is a very complicated piece of legislation, over 1300 pages as the Dodd bill now stands. But we're--what we're trying to do is improve two or three things in it. It's, it's very, very tedious. We're going to continue to work today, as Senator Dodd said. I think we're closer than we've ever been. And will we get a bill by tomorrow? I, I doubt it. I would always hope so because there's so, so much involved. But I think we will get a bill. If the Democrats want a bill and will give us some things that we think that are substantive in nature, like make the 'too big to fail,' send a message that nothing is too big to fail in this country and tighten up the language"

Health care lawsuits
Getting Wacky Out There -- Health Care Lawsuits Spark Calls For Impeachment And Twitter Throwdowns
Clockwise: Michigan AG Mike Cox (R), Georgia AG Thurbert Baker (D), South Carolina AG Andre Bauer (R), Nevada Gov. Jim Gibbons (R) and Virginia AG Ken Cuccinelli (R)
Passing health care reform may have sometimes seemed like a circus. The shenanigans surrounding lawsuits attempting to declare it unconstitutional are starting to look like the sideshow.
Lawsuits are popping up in 15 states, dividing top officials and creating confusion among citizens who want to know how their Medicaid may change. But they also have thrust attorneys general seeking higher office and national notoriety into the spotlight. There have been calls for a Constitutional convention, impeachment and even Twitter throwdowns.
Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox (R) tweeted last night that Gov. Jennifer Granholm (D) was wrong that he was backing down from the lawsuit.
