ABCNews tells us the following:

Democrats joined Republicans today introducing legislation to deny President Obama money to transport suspected 9/11 conspirators stateside and try them in civilian courts.

It is unclear when or how this measure would come to a vote, but it is abundantly clear that President Obama’s plan to use the American justice system to try suspected 9/11 conspirators is in serious jeopardy.

Sen. Blanche Lincoln, D-Ark, who faces a tough reelection bid, was asked by a reporter at a press conference today if the President is being “tone deaf” in asking moderate Democrats to support his plan.

“I’d be tone deaf if I didn’t speak for the people,” said Lincoln, questioning the “cost, security and appropriateness” of using civilian courts to try suspected terrorists.

Senators voted overwhelmingly in May of 2009 to strip funds for closing the Guantanamo Bay prison from a war funding bill.

Lincoln was today joined by Democratic Sen. Jim Webb, of Virginia, whose state includes the federal court where 20th hijacker Zacarias Moussaoui was tried.

Obama, in his inexperience, has violated the number one rule of leadership. If you want people to follow you willingly, you have to make it in their best interests to do so. Constantly pushing your own agenda for your own aggrandizement with nary a thought for the concerns of your followers will eventually lead to you being a leader in name only. You may have all the trappings of office, but your ability to lead will be gone.

Obama stands at the precipice of a failed Presidency. His fellow Congressional Democrats are showing greater and greater reluctance to follow him over the cliff. If he swallows his pride, admits he is mortal, and retreats from the cliff, he can still recover. Otherwise, it is a mighty long drop to the bottom.

***UPDATE***
More signs that the bloom is off the Obama rose. From Politico (see my post below):

Last year, Obama drew criticism from Nevada politicians for criticizing junkets to Las Vegas by bailed-out banks – and Reid’s political opponents accused him for not taking a tough enough line against the president.

But on Tuesday, Reid responded with a swift criticism of the president’s comments.

Even the Democrat Majority Leader of the Senate is becoming less deferential to Obama.
