One solution around the legislative gridlock might be for the Senate to take up legislation first, rather than the House.
Quote:
"People have to understand things always take longer in the Senate. Potentially, we could let some of these items start in the Senate and then go over to the House. That might be a very good solution to our problem. Because then the Senate would send the House something that's already bipartisan, and they could work to build the support they need. Maybe we should try that, because everything gets passed in the House and comes here. It would be better if we started and sent things over there."
Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.)

What a novel idea. . . .
