Democrat Senator Jim Webb: "Suspend Further Votes On Health Care Legislation Until Senator-Elect Brown Is Seated"

Politco reports that Sen. Jim Webb has put "out a statement that puts the notion of a quick Senate vote out of reach and pretty much makes a certification fight moot." Webb's statement said: "In many ways the campaign in Massachusetts became a referendum not only on health care reform but also on the openness and integrity of our government process. It is vital that we restore the respect of the American people in our system of government and in our leaders. To that end, I believe it would only be fair and prudent that we suspend further votes on health care legislation until Senator-elect Brown is seated." Tweet
