Several GOP lawmakers seem to have blown off House Judiciary committee votes on the Patriot Act in favor of toasting Tea Partiers at Michelle Bachmann's rally against health care reform on Capitol Hill yesterday. Reps. Steve King of Iowa, Trent Franks of Arizona, Randy Forbes of Virginia, Jim Jordan of Ohio, and Louie Gohmert and Ted Poe of Texas all showed up at the Tea Party -- and all missed Patriot Act votes that took place at about the same time. Some of the votes on Republican-sponsored amendments

Our congressman, U.S. Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Tyler), loves attention, so at first glance we blew off his dramatic declaration this weekend that he was delivering copies of the proposed health care bill to local libraries as a publicity stunt. On second glance, we think it's actually a pretty good idea. We sincerely doubt anybody in Lufkin and Nacogdoches, whose libraries are among those that received copies of the bill, will take the time, or even be able, to read all 1,990 pages.

A group of 69 lawmakers, including Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Laredo, and a number of Texas Republicans, on Monday urged a White House oceans task force to avoid creating any new obstacles to offshore oil and gas drilling. The House members said they were concerned that President Barack Obama's Interagency Ocean Policy Task Force was focusing too "heavily on environmental stewardship" of the marine waters and was giving short shrift to "other national priorities," including coastal energy development.
