It is difficult to read this stuff without having anti-nausea medication on hand.

From the WaPo article:

One of the most disappointing recent developments has been the administration’s apparent decision, in the aftermath of the immigration bill’s failure, that there was not much to be gained from working with this Congress — and something to gained by taking it on. This new belligerence has manifested itself in a blizzard of veto threats — Democrats counted up 31 between May 1 and Aug. 1 — the most regrettable of which involves the children’s health insurance bill.

In the final hours before recess, it was hard to know which was more shameful: the administration’s use of the looming vacation to bully Democrats into accepting its overbroad rewrite of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act or Democrats’ spinelessness in caving to this strong-arming.
