Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi are the two most powerful Democrats in Congress and our nation.
They have the power to influence the passage or defeat of legislation to be sent to the president for his approval or veto. They also have the power to block or deny debate on legislation that they feel they might lose if such legislation would get to the floor of the two respective chambers of our Congress.
If that latter tactic does not achieve their goal of trying to manipulate the will of the people for even more political power, they have the power to simply adjourn their respective chambers against the will of their members of Congress to avoid congressional consideration altogether.
That’s exactly what Speaker Pelosi did on Friday August 1, 2008.

that’s cuz they have an inflated sense of self.
