Breaking: House Passes Pro-Jobs Bill to Rein in the NLRB (Update: Now It Has Really Passed. Seriously.)

The US House has passed HR 2587, the Protecting Jobs From Government Interference Act. The vote was 239 to 176 — six Democrats crossed party lines to vote for the bill. Most House Democrats are therefore on the record as siding with the National Labor Relations Board’s unprecedented and outrageous case against Boeing.

Update: This was actually a vote on the motion to reconsider the bill, not the bill itself. The debate on the bill is taking place this afternoon.

Update: Now it has really passed, with 8 Democratic votes.
