  i actually hope the above doesn't happen. i'm glad the Dems got the majority in the House and Senate. i'm ecstatic that Obama won the presidency. But having a filibuster proof Dem Senate is just as scary to me as having a filibuster proof Republican Senate. Either way, it's essentially writing a blank check for one side or the other and saying "everything's fair game".
  There's no balance in that. There's 57 million people (the popular vote for McCain. Yes, this is an assumption) who would essentially be ignored if that happened. We'd be outraged and utterly downtrodden if the tables were turned.
