Congress is now back after their recess. They left a few weeks ago (I guess a couple of months of four day work weeks are just too much for them) without addressing the soon to expire FISA wiretapping bill. This bill would have continued to authorize the intelligence agencies to wiretap any individual in the US who had contact with anyone on the list of al-Qaida found during raids in Afghanistan. Nancy Pelosi decided to take this bill up after their recess.
So, now that they are back, where is the discussion and vote on this bill? Instead, Pelosi has decided that she would spend the Congress' valuable time filing a lawsuit against the White House for firing their employees. She is apparently not worried about what terrorists have to say or what plans they may be making.
This is the kind of irresponsible leadership we have come to see from the Pelosi leadership. She has her own agenda and not even the safety of our nation will deter her from following that agenda. She is often flanked by the likes of Harry Reid, Ted Kennedy, John Kerry and Hillary Clinton, among others.
What does this say about the Democratic Party? Where are their priorities?
