Though I agree with much of the sentiment expressed in today's Wall Street Journal editorial on the newly arriving Demoocratic Congress, I can't help but detect a note of sour grapes in the last graf:

The country spoke loud and clear on behalf of Democrats last November, but we doubt this means it voted for everything on the party's partisan wish list. Attempting to shove these measures through the House without allowing votes on amendments or alternatives isn't the way a confident majority behaves. We guess this is why the Founders created the Senate.

Apparently the Republican House majority under Tom DeLay wasn't very confident either.....
