From today's Fox News: Democrats Prepare for Estrada Filibuster

From George Will, a couple of days after the midterm elections handed the Senate back to the Republicans:

And regarding homeland security legislation, Senate Democrats' boundless subservience to organized labor has made them refuse to grant the president organizational powers granted to every president since Jimmy Carter.

Emphasis added. I so glad I remembered this quote...it makes me feel so much better.
