Republicans Threaten To Derail START

Key Senate Republicans are threatening to pull their support of the START nuclear arms treaty because they don’t like the way Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is handling the Senate floor schedule.

On the second full day of debate on the treaty, two Republicans — Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker and Arizona Sen. John McCain – accused Democrats of playing politics with the treaty by scheduling Saturday votes on repeal of the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy and the DREAM Act.
