Occasionally. the Senate takes to heart its intended role as a brake on legislative action and throws one of its periodic tantrums. But fortunately. just in advance of Lauras arrival. the impasse over this indispensable law has been cleared. Finally. this moment in time also is marked in this place by legislative action on a slew of reforms to our civiljustice and bankruptcy laws. an attempt to reform our immigration system and control our border. and an attempt to reverse the verdict of the Civil War by authorizing Native Hawaiians to secede from their State. Mention of these projects. however. serves only to highlight their insignificance relative to the arrival of a new child in the world. I doubt that Steven even will remember the laborious policy papers that he produced on all of these topics as he watches Laura grow older.
