The government is still passing plenty of new laws and bills this year.

just because quoting myself is fun:
from NBC:
Quote:
WASHINGTON — Republican Sen. Scott Brown of Massachusetts helped move sweeping financial legislation closer to passage Monday, announcing that after some misgivings he will support the regulatory overhaul after all.
Brown joins Sen. Susan Collins of Maine as two crucial Republican votes for the legislation.
Democratic leaders were still looking to secure the 60 votes needed to overcome procedural hurdles. They were awaiting word from Sens. Olympia Snowe, R-Maine, and Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, who supported an earlier Senate version of the bill.

3 of the 4 Republicans are from the New England region, I just don't understand why they don't just admit they are Democrats and move on.
