The reason why the Democrats do not grind government to a halt and issue subpoenas et al is that the shrill and vocal group who wishes this to pass is NOT the base of the Democratic Party, they are but one of several groups making up the party. More and more the "Liberal Wing" of the party takes on the shrill idealogical behavior of the evangelicals and they are too consumed with bile to see it. Just like the evangelical group, the liberals are fed just enough of what they want to hear to keep them voting but the reality is that the center dislikes the far left as much as the far right. You are seen as an equal threat to the status quo in America as are the Rush Limbaughs of the political spectrum. When the center wishes it, it will happen. In the mean time, rage ineffectually on web-sites, but don't forget to vote.
