This is too depressing.
Harry Reid says he is totally powerless to stop a Republican, whack job Tom Coburn, from holding up a bill that would fund a Justice Department Inquiry into civil rights era murders. Why? Because Coburn put a hold on the bill, and there’s simply nothing Reid can do.
On the other hand, Reid becomes a Superman when it comes to dealing with Dodd’s hold on the FISA bill. He’ll ignore the hold and put the Senate Intelligence Committee’s version of the bill to a vote. Somehow there’s a difference between trying to catch criminals and trying to legalize criminality, with legalizing criminality being a higher priority. Is it corruption? Is it cowardice? What is it that compels them to constantly cave to the whims of our boy-dictator?
