Jim Geraghty says that being in the minority isn’t so bad: “I think almost everyone sensed there is something liberating about being in a position of opposition; you no longer have to hold your tongue or take it easy on a figure like Bush, McCain, or congressional leaders because they’re your guys. On every bill, issue, and event that comes down the pike, you can call them as you see them.”
That’s all very true. But maybe we’d be better off if we always did this, even when “our guys” are in power.
