Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., expresses his displeasure that Apple CEO Tim Cook was being brought before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Permanent Subcommittee as the panel examines the methods employed by multinational corporations to shift profits offshore and how such activities are affected by the Internal Revenue Code, Tuesday, May 21, 2013 on Capitol Hill in Washington. A string of unrelated events are highlighting divisions among Republicans, just when they’d like to show a united front and take full advantage of President Barack Obama’s latest political problems. Tensions between libertarian-leaning and more mainstream Republicans were on vivid display Tuesday, as Sens. Paul and John McCain clashed over Apple Inc.’s tax-avoidance strategies. (AP Photo/J.

FILE - In this April 26, 2013, file photo, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., walks to a meeting on Capitol Hill in Washington. Rogers has pulled off a somewhat rare feat in a bitterly divided Congress: He’s created a working, productive relationship with Democrats in overseeing the nation’s many spy agencies. The question now is whether Rogers sticks around in the House or fulfills GOP hopes and runs for the U.S. Senate seat from Michigan. (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite, File)

Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., as the Senate Judiciary Committee assembled to work on a landmark immigration bill to secure the border and offer citizenship to millions, on Capitol Hill in Washington. Leading senators working on immigration legislation reached a compromise Tuesday on the details of an expanded high-tech visa program, officials said as the Senate Judiciary Committee neared completion of its work on the measure. At the same time, several officials said the White House has made it known to Leahy that it would prefer postponing a showdown over the rights of same sex spouses until a vote in the full Senate.
