But whether these posturing, outraged politicians will, for once, be able to withstand the Bush Administration juggernaut is another question entirely. They're due to break at the end of the week, and that just adds to the pressure coming from the Bushies. I don't recall Congress ever working into its vacation before.
Maybe they could pass some kind of stopgap measure to carry over to the new administration, then craft some thoughtful legislation, working with the new president. That's highly unlikely, though. They're far more likely to revert to their comfort zone, give Dick Cheney's boots a final quick lick of farewell, and abdicate their responsibilities yet again, giving the Bush junta exactly what they demand.
