SEE HOW EASY IT IS WHEN THERE'S NO OPPOSITION PARTY:
House OKs terrorism detainee bill in victory for Bush (Anne Plummer Flaherty, September 27, 2006, ASSOCIATED PRESS)
The House approved legislation Wednesday giving the Bush administration authority to interrogate and prosecute terrorism detainees, moving the president to the edge of a pre-election victory with a key piece of his anti-terror plan.The 253-168 vote in the House came shortly after senators agreed to limit debate on their own nearly identical bill, all but assuring its passage on Thursday.

At the very least, most of them are smart enough to keep their powder dry until after Nov. 7. But their vocal supporters are another kettle of fish, and can't sit still for six weeks on this or any other WOT issue if you gave them an IV full ot Ritalin.
