This amendment does not alter the legal requirement that standards must be technically feasible, which explicitly includes consideration of costs. This amendment does nothing to change that. It just says they should also look at the effect of the contaminants on these vulnerable populations, but still does not do anything to do away with the feasibility clause in the bill.

The way the Senate works, as you know, it’s a supermajority to get anything done. It has nothing to do with age.
They've sold their soul, this party used to be called the Grand Old Party. And now it's a cowardly party of lies.
We Democrats, we do have a very good and diverse coalition. It truly is diverse, everywhere you look at it. But in terms of leadership in Congress, it is true, they’re getting older.
This is a sad moment, we always had two parties, one was to the right of center, one was to the left of center, and we never had a party, so extreme and so willing to become the party of grievance and anger and division.
