From the Hill:
A Saturday with minimal activity offered little hope that the congressional deficit supercommittee would be able to stave off an embarrassing failure to accomplish its assigned task.
The 12-member panel has just five days to approve at least $1.2 trillion in budget savings, but the flurry of meetings and “shuttle diplomacy” among members of the committee slowed to a near-stop on Saturday. No face-to-face meetings were held, aides in both parties said, while Republican members convened a single conference call in the morning.
