Not one Democratic candidate for Congress or current member of Congress - save Russ Feingold - would lay the blame for the FISA debacle where it belongs, not just with Bush but also with the House Democratic leadership. Powell would, and did, and did it in movement terms, bringing this debate back to the Democratic capitulation to the right starting with Reagan.

Nope. Last I checked, the United States had a bicameral legislature at the Federal level, and in the upper chamber, called the Senate -- that is, not the lower chamber, the "House" of Representives -- the presumptive Democratic nominee for President, and hence the putative leader of the party, one Barack Obama by name, cast his vote in favor of the "debacle."
