Mickey Kaus is a writer & reporter at Slate magazine, and has a political blog. He is also an Obama supporter, but is not a fan of unions. According to a recent post, he received information from a Democrat insider that the Dems are making plans to fast track EFCA, “as-is.”
While it could have been hoped that some form of reasonableness would have filtered the EFCA through some compromises, that now appears unlikely, and we’ll see the final bill appear much as it passed the House last year. Obama’s record indicates that he won’t buck who brought him to the table (Big Labor), but will do everything he can to accomodate them.
