"Senate Panel Votes To Block Obama's Climate Rule"

"A Senate committee voted Wednesday to block implementation of the administration’s climate rule for power plants.

The bill passed by voice vote at a hastily organized meeting of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee just across the hall from the Senate chamber in the Capitol, because the panel’s 11 Republicans wanted to pass the bill before August recess starts later Wednesday.

Chairman James Inhofe (R-Okla.) called the vote while senators stood along the side of the room."
