A new front in the war between the Republican congress and the Republican White House has opened up, says Josh at TPM.
Rep. George Miller (D-CA) seems to have found a way to force a floor vote in the House of Representatives on whether or not to overturn the President Bush's Gulf Coast Wage Cut.He indicates there is enough support for the bill to indeed overturn Bush. I keep hearing pipedreams about how this Miers fiasco is going to drive a real and lasting wedge between Bush and congressional Republicans, but I haven't really been buying it. Could it be true? Then again, it could just be that with the House leader Delay and the Senate leader Frist just doing what they can to stay out of the pokey, maybe there's not enough energy left to keep the GOP in line?
