AP News Alert:WASHINGTON (AP) The House has filed a lawsuit to force two top Bush administration officials to testify before a committee investigating the firings of nine U.S. attorneys.Good thing we got FISA passed and the House can spend time figuring out what "I serve at the pleasure of the President." means...
If you wanted to see a three-ring circus, all you need do is watch a bit of Pelosi's House of Representatives...
UPDATE: Word from the office of Republican Leader, my Congressman and a Great American -- John Boehner:
“This partisan political stunt is a complete waste of time when the Democratic Leadership should be working with Republicans, and responsible Members of the Democratic Caucus, to protect our country by passing the bipartisan FISA modernization bill. In just a few days, we will recess for a two-week District work period. To do so without making sure our intelligence agencies have the tools they need to protect America would be breathtakingly irresponsible.WHAT!? FISA has NOT been passed already? I'm SHOCKED...
The American people sent us here to get things done on their behalf. We’ve already shown this year, with passage of the economic growth package, that we can get things done when the Majority reaches out and works with Republicans. It is unfortunate that the Majority has not demonstrated the same spirit of bipartisanship when it comes to our national security. The terrorist threat to our country is not going away, and this sort of pandering to the left-wing fever swamps of loony liberal activists does nothing to make America safer.” – Michael Steel
