Does this woman ever stop shrieking?

(The Hill) — Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) laid blame on Republicans on Wednesday for bringing proceedings in the Senate to a halt with dilatory tactics and filibusters.

“We have wasted weeks in this Congress, months in this Congress on dilatory tactics,” said Reid. “[W]e have wasted valuable time sitting around doing nothing … it’s really unfortunate.”

Chairwoman of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) joined Reid on the floor on Tuesday and accused Republicans of acting to harm the nation’s infrastructure.

“Republican senators want to bring progress in this country to a halt,” she said, speaking of the highway bill, which Democrats and most Republicans hope to pass this week.
