Senate filibuster blocks campaign finance reform bill
Washington Senate failed to halt a Republican filibuster against reform of campaign finance laws, leaving the measure likely dead for the year. The 52-46 vote fell short of the 60 needed to cut off debate, with sponsor Sen. David Boren saying defeat ends the bill’s chances in the 103rd Congress. House had passed a lobby reform bill earlier, while moral lobbying protections were noted for churches and religious groups.
