According to Eleanor Terrett, five Democratic members of the U.S. Senate Banking Committee held a meeting this morning to discuss voting direction on the BRCA compromise proposal for the Clarity Act. Negotiations with Republican colleagues broke down yesterday evening, with disagreements over whether the compromise sufficiently addresses law enforcement concerns. The Democrats’ group is leaning toward collective opposition.
The Senate is scheduled to begin formal debate at 10:30 AM Eastern Time on May 14. Two prior negotiation rounds between bipartisan Senate groups over unresolved issues in the Clarity Act have also concluded without agreement.
