Whereas for something near and dear to their shrivelled little hearts, the Senate and the House will move heaven and earth to get it through. Whenever I hear someone from Congress talk about how "Oh, we'd like to do this or that, but it just can't be done," I think back to how the bill to meddle in the Schiavo affair down in Florida moved through Congress like shot through a goose. Chimpy even rushed back early from one of his interminable drinkapaloozas vacations to sign it into law.

And isn't it nice to see a 57-40 vote mean you lost? And nobody will utter a peep about thwarting the will of the people or having an up or down vote. Because that would be partisan and make David Broder cry! Which is what Jesus was talking about when he mentioned the Unforgivable Sin in the fourth Harry Potter book.
