No harder than it was with 43 seats in the Senate to block Hillary Clinton's health care plan in 1993. Or stop Bill Clinton's proposal of gays in the military. Very little got done in the first two years of the Clinton administration.
What will be impossible is to stop any liberal legislation Giuliani might push for with what will likely be a shrinking minority of Republicans in the Senate.
And, if Hillary and the Dems push liberal legislation, it will pave the way for the GOP to retake Congress, probably in 2010, whereas they have no chance of doing so if Giuliani reaches office.
it’s not going to be easy but the gop will have a chance to recover in 2-4 years.
Remember, past performance is no guarantee of future results. The political climate is different now than it is now. Health care is seen as a bigger concern among the population at large, making it easier for Hillary to sell her ideas. Also, remember that too much obstruction by Republicans could backfire. Remember that in 2002 Republicans made a big point of Democratic obstructionism as a part of their campaign message. What's to say that Democrats could turn things around and use that same issue, claiming we are nothing but hypocrites? Making assumptions about the future based on a past time when priorities were different is setting yourself up for failure.

Once again you're making assumptions. How do you know that Republicans will necessarily retake Congress in 2010, or even that they will turn around and bow down to the social conservatives after they acted like children? What about judicial picks that Hillary will get to make?
