Every once in a while, they change their minds for the better.
Boehner explained he wanted to change to current law so that BP would be responsible not just for the cost of cleanup but also for more economic damages than current law allows. “I think lifting the liability cap on BP and for this spill is appropriate.”
I'm actually kind of stunned. But notice that Boehner only referenced BP -- not all oil companies. So I still believe the Republicans will continue to block the lifting of the cap, in effect bailing out BP.
