Notes of Decisions
Equal Emp. Opportunity Comm'n v. Allstate Ins., 570 F. Supp. 1224 (S.D. Miss. 1983).
“Brooks referred is the procedure codified at 5 U.S.C.A. §§ 908 through 912. The procedure is designed to assure that each house will vote on every plan submitted.”
Common Cause v. Bolger, 512 F. Supp. 26 (D.D.C. 1980).
“This argument is utterly devoid of merit, for it is axiomatic that a Senate rule does not amend a statute, and that the Senate may change its rules anytime it chooses.”
