Nelson drops Dem agenda: be Republicans

Roll Call (subscription): “If we simply oppose the Republican agenda without trying to compromise, we will be seen as obstructionists again,” Sen. Ben Nelson (D-Neb.) warned. “We need to try to work with the majority.”

Uh oh. Senator, some things should be obstructed. Senate Democrats, shockingly, do not seem to be embracing their position as the only thing standing between us and what might be the most significant rollback of progressive legislation and jurisprudence in U.S. history.

Where's Wellstone when you need him?

Hint: not in the place where there are spots reserved "for those who in times of great moral crises maintain their neutrality."
