Four Senate Republicans joined with Democrats to strip from the GOP tax bill a last-minute provision that would have shielded Hillsdale College, a prominent conservative school, from a new tax on university endowments.
An amendment offered by Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) — and incorporated into a package of changes Republicans unveiled Friday evening to their tax plan, H.R. 1 (115) — would have exempted all colleges that don’t accept federal student aid from the endowment tax. But Democrats immediately cried foul over the plan because it appeared to benefit only a single college, Hillsdale College, whose president, Larry Arnn, is influential in conservative intellectual circles.
Arnn, who was floated last year as a potential pick to be President Donald Trump’s Education secretary, has served as a Heritage Foundation trustee since 2002. The school also has close ties to the family of Education Secretary Betsy DeVos.
Republican Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, Deb Fischer of Nebraska, John Kennedy of Louisiana, and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska joined with Democrats early Saturday morning to pass an amendment by Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) that stripped the provision from the tax bill.

that I ever volunteered to join an Army and volunteer to fight for it in so-called 'defense of this ungrateful, greedy and evil system that is going to kill millions of us and don't care. Not that I didn't know when I returned to 'the world' in 69 from that small Asian country 'threatening" ameriKKKa, Now I know how stupid and deluded I was. 66 million vile, reprobate voters for the depraved psychopath, our loathsome, malevolent 'leadership in the Senate yesterday and the death sentence it has given millions of us has proven what ameriKKKa has always been, land of truly corrupt rich leadership with their interest(s) their only concern. Fuck trump, all who voted for this 'death panel' bill and 66 million ameriKKKans.
split the vote for top-of-the-state ticket races in 2016, voting for a Democrat for State AG & State Treasurer yet put this douche in instead of McGinty & of course instead of Hillary.

Jan 28, 2013 - Conservative author and radio talk show host Mark Levin contends that Obama's executive orders are “un-American” and even “fascistic.” ... There's also a grant of “executive power” in Article II, Section 1, Clause 1 of the U.S. Constitution, as well as a requirement” (in Article II, Section 3, Clause 5) that the ...
