Democrats complete a sweep of three branches of government


It's all over now except the vote, and perhaps a pointless filibuster. We have blown the Senate, The House, The White House, and now The Supereme Court. Even if President Bush leaves the White House early (an increasingly likely prospect...and not just statistically!), or if we win the 2008 election, we'll have the President's two relatively young appointees.

It's on now to the midterm elections and to find a Presidential candidate who might actually win. I am one of the fools who believe we could retake the house. And maybe the Senate if some more crazy stuff comes out.

Elizabeth Holtzman (our ex Congressperson in NYC) published an article in The Nation this week speculating that impeachment itself is not as insane as some would have us believe. It's pretty to think.
