A Do-Nothing Congress

Via Political Wire:

"The Republican-controlled Congress seems to be struggling lately to carry out its most basic mission: passing legislation," writes the Washington Post.

Too true. The GOP has so far only pushed for bills that have little to no chance of passing. However, as the Washington Post puts it "GOP leaders pushed legislation known to have little or no chance of eventual enactment but also known to appeal to conservative voters, whose turnout is crucial to the party's success."
