A good first step...

After two days, I think it's fair to say that the 112th Congress is vastly superior to the 111th...

Confronting President Obama, the new Republican-led House took a first step Friday toward a symbolic vote to repeal his landmark health care overhaul law, which would provide coverage to more than 30 million Americans without health insurance.

Yes, yes, it's not going to pass the Senate, and if it somehow did, it would get vetoes and the veto wouldn't be overridden. So yes, it's merely a symbolic victory.

Symbolism can be important...
