I'm pretty sure this bill was introduced in September, so it is not really a "last minute - lame duck session" item. It has been around for almost 4 months now, but because it was introduced by the Dems, and the Repubs decided to oppose EVERYTHING that the Dems wanted, it was rejected by the right.
Most of this shit would have already passed if the political divide wasn't so retarded.
EVERY one of these "lame duck" bills will pass next year, when the righties can take credit for them.
Next year the START treaty, the first responders health care, a form of the DREAM act - everything will likely make it through, one way or the other.
