U.S. Senate to America: Sorry, folks, the Constitution doesn't really mean what it says.

They earlier decided that the writ of Habeas Corpus, which is clearly delineated in the law of the land, doesn't really exist. They are also preparing to fuck our troops by defeating the eminently reasonable Webb amendment. CNN is already reporting that "Congress backs repeal of habeas corpus". Soon it will be "Congress denies time off for troops." This will doubtless be accompanied by reports of the abysmal approval rating for Congress in general. Here's the problem ... IT'S NOT FUCKING CONGRESS, IT'S THE REPUBLICANS IN CONGRESS! It was the Republicans who single-handedly did away with habeas corpus. It will be the Republicans who give the back of their hands to the troops.
When will the press wake up to the fact that while the American people don't approve of the job Congress is doing, they also fucking well know where to lay the blame?
