| | All Quiet On the House Side (washingtonpost.com) |
 | | After naming a Miami courthouse for a dead judge, House members debated how to extend the popular repeal of the tax code's "marriage penalty." The only real issue was whether to pass the Democratic or Republican version. | | | In the House, meanwhile, members returned to Washington on Tuesday of that week for three quick, unanimous votes at nightfall. | | | While other House priorities are stuck in the Senate, House Republicans believe they have the best of all worlds: They can take credit for the enacted legislation and blame Senate Democrats for bottling up the rest of their agenda. |
