Anyone else see where I'm going with this?

I know Congress isn't like Parliament, but I think I've found a good way to just absolutely, totally humiliate Bush and his ilk (even more than they already are).

It would basically be a symbolic resolution, but the implications of it could be smashing.

Congress needs to pass a resolution that bascially says, "Look, George, screw you. The people spoke, and we're not working with you anymore. It's over. If you don't like it...TOUGH!" The resolution has to give a complete list of reasons that outline Bush's wingnutism.

There may not be another chance for the winning side to put its foot down. Ever.

Uh, yeah, that'd be a great way to lose Congress in 2008.

Sitting back and working with the failed Bush regime is an even surer way to lose Congress in 2008.

I really wish Bandit was in charge of the Democratic Party. That would be such a wonderful day when, through his own hackery, losses everything.

That would happen because of Republican Fraud.

Oh yes, they did steal the election where Anne Northup got reelected.

Oh, wait. They didn't. Because Northup lost.

Oh well. Another funny loss for them.

There is no procedural reason why a vote of no confidence could not be adopted.  The one scholarly article on the subject, in general, was published in Parliamentary Journal January, 1997; Parliamentary Journal is published by the American Institute of Parliamentarians and is not available online.

So please, contact the DNC encourage them to do it (nothing like sabotageing the new majority). Smiley
