Don't get me wrong -- I love having control over confirmations, treaties, all that good stuff. But, the co-equal branch of Congress is the weakest branch (I belive).<BR/><BR/>We need the presidency in 2008. I think it'll either be Obama or Clinton who runs (perhaps together?). But we're not going to get anything done in the next two years, and the people will be plenty happy to blame the democrats in Congress (and when did it become "the" Congress?) obstructing the wacked-out cocaine addicted oil guzzling mysogenistic racist non-republican republican leadership (no names, of course).<BR/><BR/>We might've been able to blame the Republicans in the Senate for blocking the bipartisanship of the House . . . but no we either have to make it work, or pay for it in 2008. <BR/><BR/>Let's just hope that some of the more conservative justices leave the Court while we have control of the Judiciary Committee (Justices Scalia and Thomas, I'm looking at you).The Observerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14415844536105171443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22208131.post-1163046481496781222006-11-08T23:28:00.000-05:002006-11-08T23:28:00.000-05:00One of the things that I find interesting is the s...One of the things that I find interesting is the sheer number of Dems that think that now, <I>now</I> we'll finally get stuff done. They seem to forget just how thin the winning margin was and just how often our own Dem Congress Critters voted <I>against</I> the will of the party. <BR/><BR/>Salazar, anyone?<BR/><BR/>Oh, and let's not forget our new "independent" Lieberman. Wanna bet he's gonna have both sides dancing to his tune in short order? If the Dems want to get anything actually <I>done</I> they will need to vote in a block. An actual team effort. They've failed at that miserably so far (Supreme Court, filibustering, etc.), so I hold little hope that they will be able to really get some serious changes in.<BR/><BR/>But I'll wait and see. Perhaps I will be pleasantly surprised?Woman with a Hatchethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16539793554273012568noreply@blogger.com
