The thing is, anytime one party gets the presidency and both houses of congress, they seem to get very little done. Maybe its the "where do I start" syndrome where everyone wants to push his pet project, or the notion that this might be the only time they have this much power so they push the most radical ideas first. Most of the time is spent wondering if its possible to get rid of the filibuster, and suddenly it's the mid-terms and the balance of power shifts and the opportunity to get anything done is gone. My guess is that if the GOP wins the white house and keeps congress, they'll spend two years trying to repeal the ACA and getting nowhere before the mid-terms wipe out their congressional majorities.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
