House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) just announced on the House floor that Democrats were canceling plans to vote tomorrow on a proposal to create a new Office of Congressional Ethics.

Here's Capitol Briefing's original post on the subject. After a full day of private meetings on both sides of the aisle, it became clear to Democratic leaders that there was too much opposition to the plan, both within their own ranks and on the GOP side, to move forward. Hoyer did say the subject would come back soon after some effort at bipartisan negotiations on the subject.

"We do expect to consider it soon, but not tomorrow," Hoyer said.

The tipping point against the Democrats plan may have come in the House Rules Committee, which met for several hours to consider the proposal. Several Democrats on the committee, including Chairwoman Louise Slaughter (N.Y.), voiced their opposition to the plan. Speaking of both the Democrats' proposal and the GOP's counter-proposal, Rep. Dennis Cardoza (D-Calif.) said both ideas "suck."
