without committing political suicide?

I strongly doubt it.

I trust that Obama was blindsided today. His tone has rarely been this aggressive. A great blow was struck against our democracy. There's no denying that. But an amazing opportunity has materialized.

The populist rage boiling to the surface of this nation has been misdirected at our side for too long. Any of our opponents (or "peers") who support this post-plutocratic decision in future legislation will become lightning rods.

There's no other way to spin this. We've found our bipartisan issue.
