Breitbart.com: The Senate Tuesday (3/16/2010)easily killed a move by conservative Republicans to temporarily ban senators from earmarking spending bills with back-home projects like roads, water projects and grants to local governments. Fifteen Republicans joined with most Democrats in rejecting the moratorium on earmarks by a 68-29 vote.
It’s a far different story in the House, where Republicans imposed an earmark ban on party members last week in a bid to demonstrate they are the party of reform in Washington.
