110th Congress, Vote number 79.
Senator Cornyn voted Yea on an amendment that was defeated. This amendment to provide for a deficit-neutral reserve fund for transferring funding for Berkeley, CA earmarks to the Marine Corps.
Senator Cornyn wants to remove funding to a local community because of political views.
To hide the arrogance of the amendment, the flag is waved by moving the funding to the United States Marine Corps. Funding the Marine Corps is an admirable goal but not at the expense of a local community. Would Texans stand for this if Berkley was a Jewish ghetto in Nazi Germany. I would hope not. Why does Senator Cornyn think it is right to do it now?
