Discussion for article #224139
“Scalise, first elected in 2008, has been chairman of the deeply conservative Republican Study Committee. His ascent to the No. 3 position is notable because he has voted against leadership on a variety of issues including the 2011 debt limit agreement, the 2012 bill to avoid the so-called fiscal cliff and the 2013 deal to re-open the government and avert a catastrophic debt default.”
He sounds nice.
