Democrats' final petty effort

Remember how a bunch of members of the Congressional Liberal Black Caucus members tried to oppose the certification of the Florida vote in the House in 2001? A few of them, most notably Jesse Jackson, Jr., who didn't fall far at all from the poisoned tree from which he emanated. They got nowhere because no member of the Senate would join them. Now they may have one.

Sen. Barabara Boxer of California, liberal and moron seems set to join. It's not a big deal, because nobody is taking it seriously. It would just be a procedural blip and would be over and done with in a few hours. But it can cause real troubles for Boxer, as Harry Reid (D-NV) is not hot on the idea. But she has not the intellect to understand that this is not cute. It's stupid.

Let them have their fun. It'll be a long four years.
