Fred Upton, author of the light bulb law, turns against it | San Francisco Examiner

Fred Upton, one of the most liberal Republican congressmen, is tacking hard to the right to ensure nobody blows up his bid for chairman of the House Energy & Commerce Committee. He's already pledged allegiance to blocking a back-door cap-and-trade by the White House and putting the heat on newly empowered HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, but now he's done a 180 on a bill that was one of his crowning achievements -- the bill that effectively outlaws the incandescent bulb.
Amanda Carey at the Daily Caller writes:
