We've reached that trough in the holiday season where we fill the void between the Christmas drinking and the New Year's drinking by clicking, with Pavlovian fervor, on itemized run-downs of the year that's slipping away.

Best Political Development of the Year: The erosion of public-sector labor's power, as evinced by the failure of the effort to recall Governor Scott Walker in Wisconsin and the passage of right-to-work laws in Michigan.

 

Worst Political Development of the Year: The Supreme Court's Obamacare ruling. Mitt Romney's loss and the underperformance of Republican Senate candidates both stung, but it was Chief Justice Roberts' elevation of "institutional integrity" over constitutional fidelity that will have the deepest long-term effect on the state of American liberty.
