Senator Menendez appeared on Fox News Sunday yesterday with Senators Spector, DeMint and Shelby. The roundtable discussion covered the attempted airline attack on Christmas night first. Here is the exchange:DeMint decided that this was the time to take a shot at Unions say it would be their fault if we gave collective bargaining to airport workers saying it was the top priority of the administration. They then turned to Healthcare reform where Senator Menendez had this exchange with host Chris Wallace:
WALLACE: Senator Menendez, as a member of the Democratic leadership in the Senate, will the House basically have to accept the Senate compromise, given the fact that you passed your version without a vote to spare?
Well, I'm sure the conference will yield some changes, but the reality is, having served in the House and its leadership, I understand sometimes its frustrations with the Senate, but if we are going to have a final law, it will look a lot more like the Senate version than the House version.
And I'm sure there'll be some compromises, but at the end of the day, I would expect that it will look very much like the Senate version.
Wallace then gave DeMint another chance to take shots at just about everyone asking if he would file suit over the healthcare bill. Make sure you check out the exchange between Wallace and Menendez on the agenda for next year where the Senator tries to put things in perspective for the host.
