I am saying that the pubs HAVE to share the blame for the GSE debacle.The DEMbacle might have been averted if Democrats had permitted oversight of Fannie Mae.
The Republicans did not have the 60 votes necessary to bring their reform to the floor of the senate.

(At the intersection of Congress+ Fannie Mae .... you'll find the DEMron Scandal, a real DEMbacle.)

It simply needs to be released from committee by a majority vote. It requires sixty votes to over ride a veto. It still could have been brought to the floor and been put on record.
