House Democratic leaders have decided against putting major controversial bills on the floor in the first week of a lame-duck session following the Republican victory in the midterm elections, according to a schedule released by House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer's office Friday evening.

In doing so, they'll avoid fights over a child nutrition bill favored by first lady Michelle Obama, a measure, known as the DREAM Act, that would give citizenship to those who serve in the military or attend college, and legislation sending checks to seniors in lieu of a cost-of-living adjustment to Social Security benefits.

"House democratic leaders have decided against putting controversial bills" Haven't they said time and time again that the House won't move forward on the DREAM Act unless the Senate passes it first. It doesn't mean that the Senate won't move forward first.

phew, was really worried thinking this was the senate postponing the vote, specially considering that there is an opponent of the DA coming in on the 29th.

I just hope that it does make it to the house before the lame duck session ends...

Senate is up first anyways so House can take it up later. We need to work on Senate to pass.
