Dems plan pre-recess bill blitz - TheHill.com: "House and Senate Democrats next week are planning a jam-packed finale before the August recess, with plans to push through a raft of bills to secure major domestic victories as lawmakers head home. Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said after completing work on a $38 billion homeland security bill, the Senate will attempt to pass an expansion of the $35.5 billion State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP). It will also take up a conference report implementing the bipartisan 9/11 Commission recommendations and a sweeping overhaul of ethics and lobbying rules."
