Senate Republican sources tell me...

Senate Republican in Washington sources tell your humble blogger not to expect a move by the Obama administration or Congressional Democrats on two absurdly named, yet divisive issues: the Employee Free Choice Act (Card Check) and the Fairness Doctrine. These are fighting issues for the far-left, but Obama and the Dems are avoiding a fight on these two--they want to get their $825 billion (and climbing) economic stimulus passed first.

Unlike the stimulus bill, which will end up on President Obama's desk where it will be signed into law, Republicans should be able to prevent EFCA and the Fairness Doctrine from escaping the Senate.

But the Democrats might try something on both this summer.

The GOP will be resolute in its opposition.
