In this April 19, 2010, photo, Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., speaks about a border security plan to fight illegal immigration and criminal activity along the Arizona-Mexico border during a news conference on Capitol Hill in Washington. Senate Republicans' ban on earmarks, money included in a bill by a lawmaker to benefit a home-state project or interest, was short-lived. Only three days after GOP senators and senators-elect renounced earmarks, Kyl, the No. 2 Senate Republican, got himself a whopping $200 million to settle an Arizona Indian tribe's water rights claim against the government. (AP Photo/Charles Dharapak)AP – A leading Republican lawmaker on Sunday rejected the Obama administration’s assertion that ratification of a new arms control treaty with Russia is so pressing that it must be dealt with by the lame-duck Senate.
