A good example of how the chickens are coming home to roost for the Democrats: A Boston Globe article on heavy-handed GOP government governing mentions, but doesn't fairly examine, the Democrats' use of intragovernmental rule-making as the seeds of their current predicament. The article is also a very good example of the kind of legislative judo that the Dems are going to have to use to get the upper hand again. Then again, it could be read as a warning that for the country to get good government, both parties are going to have to swear off this kind of nonsense or eventually we'll get a party so in charge that they change the rules to prevent any opposition whatsoever.
