Sens. Christopher Dodd (D-CT) and Ken Salazar (D-CO) "will offer a compromise plan today to
sanction Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman (I-CT) for his support of the
Republican presidential ticket but allow him to keep a key committee
chairmanship and remain in the party caucus," according to the Washington Post.The two "will present a plan at a caucus meeting that would strip
Lieberman of a low-profile subcommittee chairmanship, possibly one on
global warming. But Lieberman would retain the gavel of the Homeland
Security and Governmental Affairs Committee."
"No final decisions have been made, and
senators who support stronger punishment of Lieberman are expected to
have a chance to express their views." Roll Call: "Democrats appeared to lose their nerve after the election when
Obama and other influential Democrats called on the party to forgive
and forget Lieberman's harsh criticism of the president-elect during
campaign appearances for Republican presidential nominee Sen. John
McCain (Ariz.). Senate Democratic sources cautioned that that proposal
might change depending on the outcome of discussions this morning.
Lieberman is expected to make his case to the entire Senate Democratic
Conference -- including newly elected Senators -- during a meeting in
which the caucus will also elect their leaders for the next Congress."
