Sen. Orrin Hatch quotes 'Top Gun' on Senate floor

After Majority Leader Harry Reid blocked the Senate from voting on President Obama's tax proposal today, Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch accused Senate Democrats of being unwilling or politically unable to vote on the measure.

“To borrow from the film Top Gun the president’s campaign is writing checks that Senate Democrats can’t cash,” Hatch said.

Well played, sir.
