I've listened to this over and over again. George Will is both topical and quite on target.

Liberals just don't KNOW!
James Madison - The Federalist No. 45
Governor Deval Patrick, Governor of Massachusetts, speaking during a forum at Suffolk Law School's Rappaport Center on Monday commented on Republican opposition to President Obama’s agenda saying, "on my worst day, when I’m most frustrated about folks who seem to rooting for failure," he doesn't face anything like the opposition faced by the president. "It seems like child’s play compared to what is going on in Washington, where it is almost at the level of sedition”
Opposition and saying "NO" are quite the inverse of sedition. They are enshrined in the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
The Preamble to The Bill of Rights: "THE Conventions of a number of the States, having at the time of their adopting the Constitution, expressed a desire, in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers, that further declaratory and ***RESTRICTIVE CLAUSES*** should be added:"
Amendment I: Congress shall make *** NO *** law
Amendment II: *** SHALL NOT *** be infringed
Amendment III: *** NO *** Soldier shall
Amendment IV: shall *** NOT *** be violated
Amendment V: *** NO *** person shall be held
Amendment VII: *** NO *** fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise re-examined
Amendment VIII: Excessive bail shall *** NOT *** be required
Amendment IX: The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall *** NOT *** be construed
Amendment X: The powers *** NOT *** delegated
Our Constitution and Bill of Rights were designed to limit the Federal Government, slow and restrict the political process through a system of checks and balances, create gridlock, and give those saying NO the upper hand. The left thinks that calling Republicans the party of NO is an insult, when in fact it is high praise. Liberals just don't KNOW!
P.S. Today in history, May 25, 1787, the Constitutional Convention opened in Philadelphia.
