An End Run on ANWR

Republicans will use a tactical maneuver to get around another fillibuster over drilling for oil in the Artic National Wildlife Refuge. Drilling plans have cleared the House in the past only to die amid a Democrat majority or fillibuster in the Senate. This time, the GOP plans to include it in the budget -- something that can't be fillibustered. That promises to be a win for backers of the ANWR drilling plans. (LAT)
