Conservative Jackass of the Week: Rep Peter Hackstra (Hoekstra)

[rpannier]

House Republicans are so intent on goading the Democrats into taking up the Senate’s electronic surveillance bill that they’ve tried to attach it to some strange vehicles.

Like an unrelated mental health parity bill (HR 1424).

“This bill is intended to ensure the mental health of Americans; yet, no American’s health can be fully secured if they are under attack by a terrorist or facing the potential threat of terrorist attack,” said Rep. Peter Hoekstra , R-Mich., who last week offered one more in a string of Republican motions to recommit a measure to add the Senate version of electronic surveillance legislation (HR 3773).

The motion failed, as did another GOP move last week to postpone the markup of a chemical security proposal in order to focus attention on the electronic surveillance issue.
