Response to Original message |
| 39. I'm seeing a lot of selective reading here |
|
Mostly people ignoring the following line:
Accordingly, I request that your committees send to the House, as soon as possible after Congress reconvenes, legislation which responds comprehensively to the Administration’s proposal while addressing the many deficiencies in S. 1927.
I don't see anywhere in there something talking about doing it NOW, but AFTER Congress reconvenes, meaning AFTER the August vacation, giving enough time to get to the constituencies and drum up opposition to Bush's plan and everything involved with it and time to rally support behind what Pelosi and Conyers really have in mind including things like privacy protections.
I guess there's people who seem to be much more ready to shoot the batter because she missed the ball instead of the pitcher who threw an illegal pitch and the umpire who called it a strike.
