Will they ever pass actual legislation?
Call this the "Non-Binding Congress."
They have an incredible willingness to spend inordinate amounts of money (time is money, people!) on the Non-Binding Resolutions of our time: Iraq, Alberto Gonzales, blah blah and more blah. This "vote of no confidence" in the Attorney General (which failed, BTW) is the latest in a string of ineffective parliamentary procedure. The Democrats received a mandate from the people for change, which Pelosi and crew gladly took up. They claimed their tenure in the House and Senate would end the culture of corruption that had choked and stifled the smooth, efficient function of government. Yet the only piece of legislation they've pushed through was the increase in the minimum wage bill -- attached to the War Funding bill that the President had already promised to sign. They threaten to "get" all the Republicans who've been in office for more than a term.
So when is this Congress going to get over the non-binding stuff and really change Washington, as promised?
