Remember Yesterday, Walking Hand in Hand

What if Democrats had said that states did not have to abide by No Child Left Behind? Or did not have to abide by the Patriot Act? Or Medicare Part D? What if Democrats during Bush's reign had proposed amending state constitutions to include language that would try to nullify federal laws they didn't like simply because they were passed by Republicans?

It would not have been pretty if from Jan. 2001-Jan. 2009 had Democrats done any such thing.  It didn't even have to be elected Democrats back then.  Anyone that merely spoke out against Republican laws were immediately questioned for their patriotism and labeled an enemy of the state.  Treason was their favorite term back then.  But now all that is ancient history.  Forgotten times of a different era.  Today we are supposed to openly celebrate elected members of the minority party that call the president  a socialist and say his laws are tyrannical and should be nullified.
