ORIGINAL: Lucylastic Threatening to cut the funding is just going to do what? Oh. You must mean this, Lucy. Ron threw it a bone, and I'm more interested the claim of executive power that is starting the fight, than what Congress has in the toolbag to address it, right now. Unless an authorization goes through pretty quickly, I'm sure there will be a thread about that to come. [;)] It's tougher with a split Congress, than it would have been for all those Democrats who cashed in on sentiment against the Iraq War to win in '06. The Senate can block the House, and the other way around. It can be turned into a protracted mess that he really doesn't need. Threatening to cut funding reminds the President that he shares power in our system.
