Big deal? Dunno.

Congress under Obama = Roman Senate under the Emperors = Reichstag under you-know-who = Duma under Lenin . . .

At least we know where we are headed.

I know Roger and hope this is just not a show but a real principled stand.

SHOULD be a it deal. If Bush had done it I Guaran-damn-tee it would have been. The more we give the more he’ll take.

"Congress under Obama = Roman Senate under the Emperors = Reichstag under you-know-who = Duma under Lenin . . ."

You got that right. I honestly don't know why everyone is so confident that the SOB would leave office just because he loses the election instead of claiming the election was rigged against him and playing all sorts of legal games. This guy is a true nutcase. And he has enough other true believers and true nutcases around him that I'm not convinced there are any limits at all on what he'll do.

Look at the Supreme Court, too. No one is going to force a Justice to recuse herself even though there is a clear reason for her to do so and everyone knows it. So, there it is, both of the other branches of government are filled with people standing around with a thumb in any convenient orifice and drooling while the Constitution is ripped to shreds.

We'll see, but you're exactly right.

All the Republican spines in Congress combined don't add up to as much backbone as a squad of Marines.

This progressive trent lott clone knows there is an election coming... and a Tea Party candidate living in Hattiesburg is rumored to be ready to challenge him.
