House Democrats falling in line on tax-cut deal, Van Hollen says - Washington Times

Congressional Democrats' resistance to the tax-cut deal President Obama struck with congressional Republicans weakened Sunday, as leaders in both chambers said a vote likely would happen this week and a key House leadership member said his caucus would not torpedo the bill.

Rep. Chris Van Hollen, Maryland Democrat, said the House will vote this week on extending Bush-era tax rates, despite strong opposition from the chamber's Democrats, furious over an estate-tax provision that they say will help only the country's wealthiest residents.
