Dems: No One Can Stop Us Now

By LaVarr Webb

As someone happily noted in Huffington Post, Democrats now have "no-one-can-stop-us" majorities in both the House and Senate. And they have the presidency. It has been decades since a party has enjoyed such one-sided control of the federal government.

So is owning filibuster-proof, super-majorities a blessing or a curse for the Democrats? They may have their challenges with moderates and renegades, but they're in control. We know exactly who's in charge, who is responsible. Seldom has it been so clear-cut. If Democrats deliver, they get the credit. If they falter, they have no excuses.
