On that I agree. But it is not Congress's job to uphold the law. Congress passes laws the president upholds the law and the courts determine if the laws and the upholding of those laws are within the constitutional framework. Like it or not that is how our system works. Is congress guilty of not funding the border patrol? yes. Is Bush guilty of not securing the country after 5years from being attack? yes. Like you say there is enough blame to go around but Bush has the bully pulpit now and he is our leader. So he must get the loins share of the blame because he is still doing the same things that got us into this mess in the first place.

Bush can't do squat until the senate approves whatever they approve. And the problem is we have a wishy-washy senate. Bush can't veto, because the wrong percentage will override. He's in a lose-lose with the senate. We don't have a majority in the senate. That's a fact. All the laws, all what ifs aren't going to change the fact we don't have a real majority. We might have the right numbers of 'r's after some names, but when it comes to voting, we have to get rid of the rinos. At that falls to the states, In other words we have the government we elected, and this is what we got. Blame bush all you want, but, if the senate was strongly conservative, it'd be a completely different game. At least I know I have Kohl and Feingold, I know how they'll vote. We need to have a real majority, not a paper one. So, the bottom line is, we got exactly what we elected.
