No Confidence

This diary is going to be short and (not so) sweet because I'm just fed up and this needs to be said: I have NO CONFIDENCE in the Senate Democratic caucus and its leadership (if you can call it that).

After gutting FISA and slinking out of town in shame they've returned to pick up their impotence and incompetence right where they left off.  For all the bluster from Durbin and Boxer, Majority Whip Durbin was unable to unite Democrats behind it as a caucus as the price for not filibustering the Cornyn amendment, resulting in yet another base-demoralizing vote.  The Democratic caucus won't force a real filibuster on restoring habeas corpus and, incredibly, as a caucus, procedurally disabled a real filibuster over the Webb amendment.

And that's just this week.

The incompetent strategery is seemingly endless, from Iraq funding capitulation ... to not enforcing subpoenas ... to Spector playing Leahy on judges ... to possible retroactive immunity for the telcos ... to their entirely non-existant media and messaging strategy to ... and on and on...

It's time for a specific expression of No Confidence.
