House rejects Democratic spy bill

Democratic spy bill? The media is having a field day.

On FISA, Bush breaks the law, makes demands of Congress

[in_cog_ni_to]

1. The repukes have their own version up for a vote in the morning.

9:00 A.M. ET...THAT had better not pass! The repuke bill gives Gonzo and the psycho unchecked power over FISA/NSA!

6. Don't kid yourself. nt

2. How did that happen

I thought we had the majority?

4. Under suspended rules Dems needed 2/3 majority.

[rodeodance]

8. dems wanted no amendments etc-. Shelia Jackson Lee, conyers etc gave

good speeches on how it protected the Balance of powers.

Now, I wonder what will happen? so many possibilites.

5. The vote was

218-207, short of the two-thirds majority needed under rules limiting debate.
The House will get the Senate version tomorrow, its the one favored by Bu$hCo, damn looks like Bu$h will win again.

7. Then don't give them a simple majority

make them negotiate.

It is a lie, nothing but, that the Democrats can do nothing to stop this.

10. The last rites for the Constitution

RIP!
:cry:

12. Does the Senate bill give Gonzo unchecked power? Since the psycho supports it, I can only assume it

does.:( I've heard NOTHING about the Senate bill.

3. Why is Bush so scared to have a court review within 15 days

So I'm reading an article right now that says Bush threated to veto a Democratic alternative that would have required a court review within 15 days.

Of course this begs the question: Why is he so scared to have a court review within 15 days?

9. Don't You Really Know??

MONEY, FEAR, POWER and CONTROL! But tell me, WHO WILL STOP HIM??

11. Because he's breaking the law and spying on U.S. citizens.
