Update on FISA Capitulation

Statement from Speaker Pelosi's office:
In a letter to Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers, Jr. and Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Silvestre Reyes, Speaker Nancy Pelosi requested that the Committees report to the House “as soon as possible after Congress reconvenes,” legislation to amend the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA)... S. 1927, the bill passed... to temporally amend FISA for six-months contains many provisions that are “unacceptable” and she does not believe that the American people will want to wait that long before corrective action is taken.

The Speaker does not believe that the American people will want to wait six months before corrective action is taken? Ya Think? Stay tuned, stay focused... and stay angry.
