Supreme Court Upholds Profits Law With 6-4 Draft Vote
The rules committee approved the 19 through 25 draft bill by 6 to 4, clearing the way for passage in the current session. GOP leadership pushed the vote, with several members voting yes reluctantly, to enable a full House vote. The bill faces a floor open to amendments and could face a motion to send it back to the armed services committee. The Senate already approved a similar form.
