Sen. McConnell Says Filibuster Of Supreme Court Nominee Sotomayor Remains Possible
Appearing on CBS" "Face the Nation" on Sunday, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnel (R-Ky.) said that Senate Republicans have not ruled out a filibuster on the Supreme Court nomination of Judge Sonia Sotomayor, The Hill reports. Although McConnell acknowledged that he has "consistently opposed filibustering judges," he added that the "precedent was established" when Democrats filibustered Miguel Estrada, an appeals court nominee under former President George W. Bush. When asked to clarify his statement, McConnell added, "The Democrats have firmly established that as a precedent, but that doesn"t mean you are going to use it" (Blake, The Hill, 6/14). McConnell also said that it is "way too early to be talking about whether or not anybody opposes this nominee" (Schieffer, "Face the Nation," CBS, 6/14).According to The Hill, McConnell is the first top GOP senator to state that a filibuster is a possibility, as most other Republicans have said only that it is too early to determine if it should be an option. Republicans "face a difficult path" if they choose to filibuster Sotomayor because party members have long decried judicial filibusters, The Hill reports (The Hill, 6/14).

Many Washington State Hospitals Skimp On Required Charity Care

"As the recession has cost more people their jobs and their health insurance, local hospitals have seen more patients show up with no way to pay," reports KUOW, a Washington State public radio station. "Hospitals in Washington are required to provide free care to anyone living below the poverty line, if they ask for it. But some hospitals give more freely than others." Leonard Bass, who was homeless five years ago, regularly visits a clinic operated by Haborview Medical Center for diabetes treatment and is one such patient. "Harborview (a county-owned hospital) provides far more health care to the poor and uninsured than any other hospital in the state," and patients like Bass believe the center is their only choice for care. However, all nonprofit hospitals in the state face the same requirement for providing treatment to people in Bass" financial situations. He is unemployed, uninsured, and living in poverty. But, in the Pudget Sound region, there are only three hospitals that provide more than 2 percent of their care to the poor. Ken Berger, of Charity Navigator, a group that rates nonprofit performance, said "The average nonprofit hospital in many parts of the country, the amount of charity care they (provide) is abysmal, it"s like 2.5 percent, and you"re considered the best in your class" (Ryan, 7/10).
