Political squabbles in the house cause a republican-dominated government to fail the passage of another bill. This bill would have helped low income farmers grow,but at the cost of undermining the clean water, and endangered species acts. Usually the republicans whose views differ slightly from the rest were too little to impact the outcome, but the failure of the bills was caused by them this time, posing perhaps a larger threat in the long run.
This can relate to the actual passage of the Clean water and Endangered species acts, as they were largely unexpected due to the political affiliation of the president, but in a similar manner, a republican dominant government fails to pass a very expected bill by them due to a silent majority among them.
