Dec. 8, 2005
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) today offered a privileged resolution condemning the "culture of corruption surrounding the prescription drug bill," the latest in a series of parliamentary gambits by congressional Democrats intended to highlight alleged abuses of power by the Republican majority.

The resolution involves a November 2003 vote on a Republican-backed bill adding a prescription drug benefit to Medicare. Although House votes are typically scheduled for 15 minutes, the prescription drug vote was held open for several hours until Republicans secured a majority. She offered a similar privileged measure in Dec. 2003.
