Senate Postpones Action on Bill to Weaken Gov't Accountability

UPDATE: The Senate Judiciary Committee had on its schedule for today a markup of S. 489, the bill to weaken your rights to hold state and local governments accountable for violations of federal law. The committee ended up postponing work on that bill. Stay tuned for any further alerts.
