Earlier this week, I noted that Democrats were frantically trying do some special favors for labor unions before Scott Brown was seated and Democrats lost their supermajority in the Senate. They succeeded in getting Patricia Smith, the Obama administration’s nominee for Solicitor of Labor, through a party-line cloture vote, even though it’s entirely likely she lied in her Senate testimony about a program she was involved in as New York’s labor commissioner that unjustly benefited unions.

However, with Scott Brown being seated today and Democrats losing their supermajority, Big Labor may well have just seen their secret weapon shot down.
