Congress served up plenty of political drama in 2015: Speaker of the House John Boehner, R-Ohio, resigned. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, called Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky, a liar on the Senate floor. Members of the House Select Committee on Benghazi interrogated Democratic presidential frontrunner and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for 11 hours.
But this year has not been all gridlock and grandstanding.
For all their partisan struggles and intraparty squabbles, Republicans and Democrats also had a banner year for introducing — and even passing — big bipartisan bills impacting the law and justice community.
