So what has come of the Democrats securing congress in the previous elections? Well, they've pushed forward an attempt to "de-authorize" the war in Iraq, a move for which there appears not only to be little support, but more importantly has no constitutional foundation. They pushed forward a non-binding resolution to withdraw from Iraq. They're proposing a no-confidence vote on AG Gonzales. They've unashamedly attempted war funding bills that presume to take over responsibilities to prosecute war which are exclusively granted to the President as Commander-in-Chief --unconstitutional. And now they're preparing an Immigration Bill that Speaker Pelosi says she won't bring forward unless she has supporting commitment by 70 members from the other side of the isle --far more than is necessary to exceed opposition.
So, what have the Dems done with their hard-fought return to power? A lot of things that are unconstitutional, or mean nothing, and one thing that would only count if it's something the opposition agrees to. Now that's leadership.
