When legislators stare down the executive…

This is how it looks like

Barack Obama, a Democratic president with a Democratic majority in the House and a Democratic supermajority in the Senate, cannot get socialization of healthcare passed! At least not easily.

Because the American people do not like it, or at least some Democrat congressmen think so.

Now there must be more debate. There must be compromises. There must be, gasp, democracy. Not just a threadbare majoritarian democracy, but democratic changes based on substantial consensus.

And you know what, the Representatives and the Senators cannot be just expelled by the President and his pliant Speakers.

Meanwhile in India, the high command reigns supreme
