"And then, of course, there's the filibuster, the newest liberal bete noire. "Don't blame Mr. Obama," writes Paul Krugman of the president's failures. "Blame our political culture instead. ... And blame the filibuster, under which 41 senators can make the country ungovernable."
Ungovernable, once again. Of course, just yesterday the same Paul Krugman was warning about "extremists" trying "to eliminate the filibuster" when Democrats used it systematically to block one Bush (43) judicial nomination after another. Back then, Democrats touted it as an indispensable check on overweening majority power. Well, it still is."

Krauthammer exposes Krugman's serial inconsistency's again, while making irrefutable points about the latest liberal/progressive whine: "Our politics/government can't work because we can't pass the legislation we've been dreaming of." The inherent assumption is that the point of government is to legislate - make laws that bind supposedly free citizens - rather than to defend the individual rights of the free men and women the state is supposed to serve. I believe, in contrast, that government is working well by removing old legislation which has restricted liberty and has caused the problems which the statists want to solve with ... More legislation.
