Two cases in point but this isn't about them. They're just the latest:
Senate Dems' Unconstitutional Mishap Could Kill Food Safety Bill
An Error By Dems May Allow The Lawsuit Against Health Care Reform To Succeed

At some point you have to interpret repeated negligence as willful intent.

8. Exactly. If their corporate sponsors tell them to do something

that they know will be incredibly unpopular, sometimes the easiest way to accomplish it and avoid blame for it is to appear incompetent.

They can tell their corporate masters that they were deliberately acting incompetent, while pleading to the masses that they were really, truly trying as hard as they could to prevent those corporations from getting whatever they want.

9. What ThomCat said. As the days and weeks wear on, I find myself unable to...

...refute those sentiments, and so I consider them.
