McCain and Leibermen took a highway funds bill hostage, and, if they didn't get their way, 5000 federal workers would be fired in about a week.

So much for their concern for the American worker, hey?

That's how our Congress works, every day, on every issue many people care about.

They'd have been rehired.

Also, that pretty much destroys the idea that giving the Commission the time it wants is a partisan ploy designed to destroy Bush.
