Gene Lyons on our 2 party system
snip

The “Republican Congress has done nothing to thwart President George W. Bush’s alarming usurpations of legislative prerogatives,” writes Bruce Fein, associate deputy attorney general under President Reagan. “Instead, it has largely functioned as an echo chamber of the White House.”
Fein is one of several conservatives who contributed essays to Washington Monthly about why it’s crucial that Democrats retake at least one house of Congress in 2006. Among them are such GOP thinkers as Bruce Bartlett, Christopher Buckley, Richard Viguerie, and former Rep. Joe Scarborough.
