Rand Paul Blocks Pipeline Legislation

Legislation that would strengthen pipeline safety rules is being blocked by our very own junior senator.  Senator Aqua Buddha Paul says that the regulations are stifling to business and... well, you get the point.

From Democracy Now:

In Washington, Republican Senator Rand Paul is single-handedly blocking legislation to strengthen safety rules for oil and gas pipelines, even though the bill has support from the Interstate Natural Gas Association of America, the American Gas Association and the Association of Oil Pipelines. Paul reportedly opposes the bill because he sees it is a form of unnecessary federal regulation.
