Too bad it's "just" on the omnibus spending bill and not the tax-cut "compromise." But, Democrats have decided to instead support just a temporary spending measure.
So, in the new Congress next year, we'll get to see just how much Preznit Kumbaya is willing to degrade himself and political principle chasing after things like "bipartisanship" and "compromise." My guess is that we've not come close to seeing the end of his willingness to degrade himself. And, unless Senate Democrats can hold firm as a caucus on a lot of issues (insert laugh track here), he'll have plenty of opportunities to keep on not reaching the end of his willingnes.
That said, this is yet another argument, at the least, for an upper house of Congress with lesser powers, or, more, for parliamentary government. (Preznit Kumbaya would likely still be a backbencher in such a system, and NOT prime minister.)
