The president will make his case at 9 p.m., followed quickly by a rebuttal from Boehner. The president is expected to build on the support signaled earlier in the day by the White House for a plan being championed by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. But Boehner and the...

Republicans who swept into power in state capitols this year with promises to cut spending and bolster the business climate now usher in a new era of labor relations that could result in the largest reduction of power in decades for public employee unions.
