Yes, there has been much complicity outside of Congress also. Congress doesn't just magically work in the best interests of the people unless the people actually force it to, and when those people decide they want less freedom, well that's democracy for you...

and ours is fairly busted right now, but there's still a good deal of hope. Not the Obama brand but the actual kind. Of course, looking at McCain's polling numbers you'd tend to think that the actual amount of hope is quite low.
