I keep hearing them use the word "siege." Does NOBODY in the press know what the word means? An assault, incursion, attack, etc is NOT a "siege." For a siege, you need trenches, investments, tunnels, breastworks, ramparts, boiling oil and maybe lots of archers. You must cut off the food and water supply to the enemy. It takes weeks or months.
Besides, a "siege" requires some siege engines...
Now that I think about it, some siege engines outside the hallowed halls of Congress may not be a bad idea.
