Dereliction of Duty
Nancy Pelosi should be charged with dereliction of duty. Never has a Speaker of the House so shamelessly put partisan politics ahead of this country's safety
Democrats in charge of Congress have a clear choice before them when they reconvene the House today: Will they act immediately to close significant gaps in America's intelligence capability - or not?
Ten days ago, their leaders chose to adjourn the House of Representatives without passing a Senate-approved anti-terror bill that had overwhelming bipartisan support. As a result, Democrats left America at significant risk and potentially blind to new terrorist plots.
The Democrats' dereliction of duty left our intelligence community without critical, 21st-century intelligence tools for unearthing those plots. Until the House passes this bill, our agencies are bound by the overly bureaucratic Vietnam-era law known as the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
Senators passed it by a margin of more than 2-1 - no easy feat in this era of partisan gridlock. Democrats in the Pelosi-led House responded by putting the Senate bill in a drawer.

I agree. The last time they took a 12 day break I asked my husband what they are taking a break from? After all, they don't do anything!
Off topic, regarding this comment you left on my post: " I have so little faith left in the voting public in this country that I don't believe it would matter if Hezbollah, Al Qaeda and CAIR endorsed Obama that it would make any difference."
Some idiot named James came in and proved your point! I didn't even answer him except to tell him to read your comment. LOL! I guess I shouldn't laugh. It's not going to be a laughing matter if Obama is our next President. Instead, it's going to be a living nightmare!
I agree with you totally, AC! This is horrific!
hiya AC..ah Pelosi at it again..why doesnt that surprise me..argggggggggg!
Democrats have never been known for showing ANY intelligence.
Come on Crusader, don't be a stooge.
If Chucklenuts needs to eavesdrop on someone he goes to the FISA court and gets a warrant.
I get a charge out of this idea that if we don't grant the tellcoms immunity they won't co-operate with legal court warrants.
It's kinda sad the way right wingers get so irrationally frightened that they'll give up any rights at all.
Of course, I was wiretapped at the Boston Catholic Worker House and it does piss me off a bit. I know leftist organization not fit to live with you good neocons but what can you do.
You people will sell the country out for a bowl of potage while you shake in your undies and then call yourself patriots.
There isn't even enough substance to you to make chicken salad.
