Return to Stalemate
Congress has given itself little time in which to avoid doing a lot.
Wednesday, September 6, 2006; Page A14
AFTER ITS five-week summer break, Congress is back in town, but not
for long:
It's scheduled just 19 working days between now and the November
election.
Not a lot of time to accomplish much, but with this Congress there's
little danger of that in any event.
Indeed, two of the supposed must-do items on the congressional agenda
-- lobbying reform and immigration -- have all but disappeared.
Republican leaders must be gambling that voters are too forgetful to
remember about the first, and too dumb to know who to blame for
inaction on the second.
