Congress Is Back In Session To Demonstrate Its Ability To Lead

Congress was very pleased to see a new piece of furniture that allows its shorter members to appear taller when they stand up on the lectern.  It then resumed its efforts to obstruct the government they are supposed lead.  Instead of leading, each of the representatives gets an opportunity to show that they understand the prejudices of the constituents who elected them.  Its not surprising that our democracy has devolved to the point in which Donald Trump has a good chance to become our president.  Its failures are on vivid display in Congress.
