John McCain Will Return to Senate in September…

“What we were going to do, and it gets a little arcane, but take a ‘skinny bill’ as they called it and give it to a conference of House and Senate people. With no input, no amendments, and then have them put out a product that was going to be an up-or-down vote in both House and Senate. I wanted us to have a full-fledged debate, amendments, go through committees. That’s the way we should operate.”

This toxic, “my way or the high way” mentality does not work in Congress and McCain’s return is a clear sign that the ways of Congress are unlikely to change anytime soon.
