I might also point out that that particular resolution was introduced by Claire McCaskil (a Democrat) and was cosponsored by Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama (who were both still competing for the Democratic nomination in April 2008).
It wasn't like Democrats in Congress were questioning McCain's standing to be President and initiated a partisan attack on him. Quite the contrary, they deemed the legal issue to be obscure and totally useless and therefore put forth a resolution saying that they all felt it was just fine and didn't need any investigation. So why didn't any Republicans introduce a resolution in Congress saying that they all felt Obama was a natural born citizen and that the people who questioned otherwise were nuts? Why is that, Sam?
