Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) on Wednesday ripped the Senate's "newest members" for the lack of comity in the upper chamber.
In
a floor speech Wednesday night, Dodd said there is "nothing wrong" with
partisanship, but added he has "been deeply disturbed by some of the
[healthcare] debate I have heard, usually from newer members, usually
those who have been here one, two, three years, who do not have an
appreciation of what this chamber means and how we work together."
Dodd did not name names and spokespersons for the Connecticut senator did not respond to requests for comment.
Most
of the newest members of the Senate are Democrats, having been swept
into office in the blue waves of the 2006 and 2008 elections.
