Republocrats and the unconscious citizen
Glenn, you write: :...in direct defiance of the will of the vast majority of the country>"
I think you certainly get it right about the Democrats here, but for the real blame or cause of our current situation, I think you need to go upstream to the American Citizen.
I don't think the country has a "will". It has an opinion, it has time to stop for a poll, it has time to shop, to bitch and moan, to ignore participatory Democracy for several decades, to become comfortable and uninvolved, to be uneducated and proud of it...but "will"...I don't see it.
On the other hand, our political "leaders" certainly do have a will to take excellent care of themselves and protect their power and cash-based decision making engine.
