The new resolve in the Democratic Party is showing results.  The ruinous and indefensible changes to the House ethics rules that would allow one party to essentially shut down ethics violations will be rescinded by the House Republicans. 

On Social Security, Bush's ill-conceived plan to gut Social Security and replace it with private accounts in a desperate attempt to erase his legacy of spending has hit a brick wall.

On filibusters, a Washington Post poll shows that only 26 percent of Americans support giving the Republicans an easier time of moving their judicial candidates by ending the minority party's ability to filibuster nominations.

These events demonstrate that the only thing needed to defeat the Bush agenda is a strong, unified caucus willing to fight for what is right.  Keep it up, boys and girls.
