These guys never really tried their utmost best to reign in Fannie and Freddie, did you not see the report about how there were republicans actively lobbying against the bill because of the links that they had with thses two companies? If they wanted to push that bill through they could have, the same way they got the Bush tax cuts through.
So, don't believe for one second that they really have that in mind. Fannie and freddie based on reports lobbied a few key republicans to make sure it was not passed.
The democrats are fully aware that if they screw up that they will be voted out in 2 years, so expect some good bills and reform to take place especially in the first 4 years.
On the issue of judges, I must be honest, I don't want an idealist in the Supreme Court, I want a strict constructionist of the constitution. Someone in the middle of the road that looks at the big picture.
