Senate Tees Up More Votes Against Obama’s Climate Rules [1]

"The Senate will vote as early as this week to block President Obama’s climate change rules for power plants.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) announced Monday that the resolutions, one of which he sponsors, were placed on the Senate floor calendar, lining up a vote soon.

The resolutions are written under the Congressional Review Act, a rarely-used law that gives Congress a streamlined process for blocking regulations."
