Well, if the Democrats win one of the chambers, they will take away Bush’s rubber stamp.
Still, I agree that even if the Dems win both chambers with small margins, you won’t see huge, sweeping changes. I do think it would expidite the end of the Iraq war somewhat, but the Executive Branch has a lot of power over how wars are waged.
Immigration is an issue I feel that shouldn’t be partisan. I’m truly confused why the parties can’t work together on it and figure out real solutions everyone can agree on, at least to some degree.
The main benefit to the Dems winning is that they’ll have subpoena power. If they’re in the majority in the House, they’ll have the power to investigate some of the abuses that have occurred under Bush. Whether they’ll actually use that power remains to be seen.
