Highlights Excerpt:
[Several other key pieces of legislation passed during
Democrats’ lame-duck revival:
- A repeal of “don’t ask, don’t tell,” which political wags say
will fire up the liberal base whose energy was markedly lacking in
the midterm elections
- Completion of a food safety bill that grants the federal
government broad new power to inspect food processing plants, while
raising the standards for food imported into the United States
- Republicans agreed to ease a blockade that had stopped about 20
of Obama’s judicial nominations from being seated on the federal
bench
- The continuing resolution to fund the government includes an
amendment that institutes Obama’s proposal for a two-year freeze in
federal worker pay
- In an administrative rather than congressional decision, the
FCC moved Tuesday to impose limited “net neutrality” regulations on
Internet providers, a move strongly opposed by Republicans. The
ruling is widely expected to be challenged in the courts.]
