D.C. Circuit And Harry Reid Are On The Same Team

Charles Pierce loses the story when he gets all bent over the reactionary douchebags on the D.C. Circuit Court and their asinine ruling over recess appointments.  Pierce goes all turbo-fluffer to disparage any perfectly reasonable sort who mentions that their isn't all that much difference between the parties in Washington.  I understand his desire and his contention, but a day after the Senate aristocrat Harry Reid--purportedly the most partisan Democrat out there--revealed his true motivations and political proclivities in siding with Republicans over the filibuster, it is especially ludicrous to pretend that Democrats are so very, very importantly different than the reactionary fucktard Republican.  Yes, the D.C. Circuit's ruling was laughable, and the three judges on the panel were especially flagrant idiots appointed by the two worst Presidents in American history, but Democrats in Washington have had opportunity after opportunity to oppose substantively the radical Republican agenda for two generations and have chosen not to do so each time.  Why is that, exactly?
