Most of the US Senate - that would be 99 members of it - are irrelevant and unnecessary. We should send them all home until January of 2013.
Harry Reid is the only Senator that matters. He is running the Senate as if he is the only member, and in fact, he appears to be.
Time after time, he promises that bills passed by the GOP House - often with broad based bipartisan support or cross-over voting from both parties - will be defeated as soon as they arrive at the Senate. And he sees to it that he keeps his promise.
The lastest assurance comes from an emergency funding measure narrowly passed by the House to keep the lights on in Washington. He doesn't like it and will not pass it so we will have another crisis to play out in the press.
If we want legislation passed in this country, we can send the House of Representatives home along with the Senate and just ask Harry Reid what he would like. Of course whatever he supports is out-of-step with what the country wants.
So, until Reid is replaced in January, 2013, we will have an impasse in this country where relatively nothing gets to the President's desk.
I doubt that the Constitution really intended for one person to control all of the legislation in this country.
