Write your resolutions and do what you want with them
snip - Republican congressional aides said the White House was working against the measure, although presidential press secretary Tony Snow, asked if that was the case, said "no."

"We've made our views known, in terms of what people have to keep in mind. But members of the House and members of the Senate have the freedom to go ahead and write their resolutions and do what they want with them," he said.

Does anyone else find this rather--uh--offensive? This is in regard to the Iraq war resolution that is going on in Congress now. Do you get the feeling that the White House feels the Congress is unnecessary?????

1. Have felt that for some time.
Moreover, the legal infrastructure for complete and overt fascism is in place.

2. Yeah - but
it wasn't quite so over the top blatant as the statement Snow made.

I mean what is the point of electing these guys and gals in the first place? If they are utterly powerless to do what the American public elected them to do......makes you shake your head and say What the fu**????
