The Dark Side Of The Obama White House

What legislation has the GOP passed without Democratic votes?

I assume you're talking about the Iraq War and the AUMF (Authorization to Use Military Force).  Yes, Bush-Cheney lied; had Democrats in Congress done their job of oversight, they would have known that and, perhaps, voted differently.  

I'm sure you'd agree that the singlemos­t important decision that any member of Congress can make is whether to give a president the authority to use military force against another nation.  

HillaryClinton claimed that when she was in the Senate that she did not discuss her vote to give Bush the AUMF with her husband.  She claims she based her vote on Bush's claim that Iraq had WMD.  We know from the NIE that it wasn't true, and that there were no legal grounds to attack Iraq.  Not only was it illegal, taking Saddam out was bad policy, a bad strategy that would destabiliz­e the entire region, open up a Pandora's box and have us in a quagmire for years and decades.

Bush, no fool he (he and Cheney wanted Congress's heads on the line, too, should it all go bad), made that NIE available to all members of Congress.  It was in a locked on the Hill (a table, chair and lamp in the room), with an armed guard standing outside.  You had to show your ID as a member of Congress and sign in to enter the room.  Bush wanted a record of it.
