Harry Reid while just now answering questions at the National Press Club where he and Speaker Pelosi gave speeches, when asked where FISA stands because of the games the Republicans are playing made this statement, "Either Pres. Bush can extend the FISA law or he can go without it".

1. I have no idea what that means.

[librechik]

2. ditto

[dmosh42]

3. What it means is the Repukes are blocking again!

Yesterday, they tried to pass Leahy's bill, which did NOT contain the TELCO IMMUNITY that Bush wants. So, with the help of a whole bunch of the 'enabler' Dems, it was shot down by 60-37. Now Repukes want to get in their own version, but can't get past Dems. Sooooo!

4. from what i understand--even if it doesn't pass, the "law" in effect

now will stand for another year! (big emergency, right?)

[old guy]

5. I think thats right.

No emergency here, the key is no immunity! All the rhetoric about terrorists, and fear is all window dressing. Count on it!

8. No, the current FISA law expires on Jan 31

Reid wants a short one-month extension, and Bush says no, do it the way I want it, and do it now.

6. It could be another of those "lines in the sand" ...

... that Sen Reid famously drew a la Iraq war funding.

I feel warm knowing that Sen Reid won't cave this time.

7. I feel a strongly worded letter coming on...

9. GO WITHOUT IT YOU STUPID SHIT FOR BRAINS

FUCKING FISA COURTS RARELY REFUSED WARRENTS. YOU HAVE PLENTY OF TIME TO GET A WARRENT AFTERWARDS.

FUCK YOU REID
