Congress is back and ready for a fight

The World

Today marks the first session of the 111th Congress and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid knows he’s got a full plate of serious issues to handle, and handle quickly. On top of all the pressing matters there are still vacancies in the U.S. Senate and a whole lot of hullabaloo over who is going to be filling them. To mull over these issues with us is Todd Zwillich from Capitol News Connection and our man on the ground in Washington D.C.
