If you believe that our political system is the best. then there has to be some degree to which both parties are permitted to compete effectively in the marketplace of ideas. We understand that the majority party has the right to run the House of Representatives. But we are suggesting that it is an abuse of power to systematically prevent the American people from being able to judge a majority of the Members of this body in their votes on issues that consistently show a majority support from the American people. like school prayer. balanced budget. lineitem veto. criminal code reform. immigration reform. bankruptcy reform. all of these issues that never come here to be voted on. because they are not on the agenda of the Democratic majority. I cannot help but say that I think that is an abuse of power on the part of the majority. The majority has the power to bring those bills to the floor and then defeat them if they think they are bad law.
