Risch, Crapo Back Earmark Moratorium

Earmarks will be shelved next year if things go the way of Sens. Jim Risch and Mike Crapo. Idaho’s senators jointly announced Monday afternoon that they support an earmark moratorium, for Republicans, that South Carolina Republican Sen. Jim DeMint is expected to propose at the U.S. Senate Republican Conference Tuesday. “They (constituents) have spoken loudly against the continuation of congressionally directed federal funding, and that is how I will vote tomorrow,” said Crapo in a statement. … Crapo and Risch supported — by way of voting against the tabling of a DeMint amendment, which called for a moratorium, to a bill — a two-year ban on earmarks in March/ Jay Patrick , Idaho Reporter.

Question: Wasn’t it just the other day that Risch & Crapo were supporting $800M in congressional earmarks? What’s happening here? Do you support a congressional moratorium on earmarks?
