Losing

Anyone seeking evidence of the total incompetence of Congressional Democrats needs look no further than the fallout over the recent filibuster capitulation. In exchange for their reserving the right to maybe, and from a much weaker position, think about filibustering a future intolerable Bush Supreme Court nominee, the Dems have allowed Priscilla Owen, who believes labor unions should be treated as criminal conspirators, Janice Rogers Brown, who believes your former employers should be allowed to sue you if you say bad things about them in your email, and William Pryor, who opposes the Voting Rights Act, to assume lifetime appeals court posts. Some deal. Way to go, guys.
