Sarmad, there is a difference between electoral majority and popular majority. Most of the times we are willing to yield to electoral majority even when we don't like what they do. But war is a different issue. Legally, Bush can do whatever he can get approval for. But morally, he should not go to war before presenting his case better and garnering better popular support. What you are seeing is people doing their part to prevent Bush from doing what they deem as a grave mistake. As you have pointed out, he is in the office and he has both houses. So the mere fact that he is having such a hard time pushing it through means that the "misguided minority " may actually be a majority (or close to it).
