Thank you sir (ma am), may I have another. Don t tell me that there is a ton of difference between Republicans and Democrats when stuff like this happens. The FISA bill is a large piece of corporate lovin . The Democratic leadership in the House planned this. They crafted this so that they would vote on Friday and that the blow back would happen over a weekend. They were hoping that everything would be almost back to normal by Monday. And they are looking out for who? The American people not being served by Steny Hoyer and Nancy Pelosi, today. This is a terrible day for the democratic party. BTW, where is Barack Obama? From WaPo: The House today overwhelmingly approved a sweeping new surveillance law that effectively would shield telecommunications companies from privacy lawsuits for cooperating with the Bush administration s warrantless wiretapping program. Ending a year-long battle with President Bush, the House approved, 293 to 129, a re-write of the 1978 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) that extends the government s ability to eavesdrop on espionage and terrorism suspects while providing a legal escape hatch for AT T, Verizon Communications and other telecommunication firms. The companies face more than 40 lawsuits that allege they violated customers privacy rights by helping the government conduct a warrantless spying program after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. Before the vote, President Bush today lauded Congress for reaching agreement on the legislation, saying it was vital to help thwart new terrorist attacks. (more ) ShareThis

Steny Hoyer and John Conyers just pulled a fast one on the GOP. The GOP has been refusing to support the hate crimes bill because it doesn't include members of the US Armed Forces and senior citizens. Conyers just rose and basically said, okay, I'll add them. The Republicans' response? Uh, no. Watch Hoyer lay into the GOP, it's good.

A brilliant and moving speech by Democrat Steny Hoyer in favor of civil rights and the hate crimes bill.
