With Washington, D.C. momentarily poised between the last month's epic battle over the as-introduced version of the Employee Free Choice Act (which appears to have fallen short of the votes needed to break a GOP filibuster) and the widely expected next-round epic battle (over some stripped-down version or "EFCA-light" that might command enough votes), we had trouble choosing between two good recent columns on the subject, one by Manhattan Institute senior fellow Diana Furchtgott-Roth and the other by veteran political columnist Michael Barone. So we've reprinted both.
New (double) featured column: Furchtgott-Roth and Barone on EFCA
