The Interocitor

Epiphanies

The editors of the New York Times and other mainstream media will shortly discover:

• The long history of Congressional leadership in foreign and domestic policy.
• The anti-democratic nature of the filibuster, and its reactionary history.
• The need for courts to defer to Congressional judgment.
• The stabilizing effect of gerrymandered carefully balanced electoral districts, and the need for early reapportionment to achieve better balance.
• The need for a vigilant Congress in overseeing the executive, and the renewal of the special prosecutor statutes.
• Improvements in electoral procedures, which made the tabulation of the 2006 elections so accurate.
• The traditional role of earmarking, pork-barrel spending, and other rewards to one's political supporters.
• And, lastly, the need for further regulation of electoral speech (the established media excepted), especially the "blogger loophole."
