Kyl Still Trying to Kill Treaty

Sen. Jon Kyl (R-AZ) said that he "will work very hard" to ensure that the treaty is not ratified if it's brought to the Senate floor in the waning days of the lame duck session, NBC News reports.

He argues that there "is not enough time to thoroughly debate and possibly amend the START measure before the Senate adjourns for the year. Majority Leader Harry Reid plans to bring the treaty to the Senate floor following completion of the tax cuts bill this week."

Reid claims he has Republican support to secure the 67 votes needed to ratify the treaty, which is a top priority of President Obama.
