Congressional resolutions praising college sports teams aren’t always easy.
Last year, OC Republican Rep. John Campbell offered a resolution congratulating UC Irvine’s men’s volleyball team for winning the national championships. Seems simple enough. Not quite. Bay Area Congressman George Miller asked House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer of Maryland to stop Campbell’s measure from reaching the floor for a vote…
…So, naturally, Campbell did what any snubbed Anteaters-loving politician would do: He got even. On Tuesday, Hoyer proposed a resolution congratulating the University of Maryland’s Terps for making the NCAA tourney. Campbell opposed it and delayed the vote by asking for a roll call.
More is here.

Good to know our elected representatives are spending their time wisely. Can’t they do something useful, like write blog comments??
