Congress Partisan? Try Tribal?

Why Congress Is So Dysfunctional:

And the funny thing is it comes down to nickels and dimes. The sliver of the pie that is actually the province of what Congress can affect is less than ten percent of the power elite's domain - which is everything. When the edges of this slice are pushed hard, the power elite is bestirred. The rest of the time it operates in its protected sphere. The only way to modify and deflate the power elite is to force a resuscitation of local democracy and rule of law presided over by a court system that is not captive to the power elite. That it what 2012 is about.
