The Underground Conservative

Oh, wait:

The word is that House Speaker Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D.-Calif) will be rushing votes today because one of her daughters is getting married this Valentine’s Day weekend.

A quick web search reveals that Christine Pelosi was recently engaged and staying mum on the date and location of the ceremony.

Today the House considers a FISA reauthorization bill that is set to expire on Saturday.

And did the House take up the FISA bill before Nancy Pelosi ran off to her more pressing engagement?

President Bush said Friday that “our country is in more danger of an attack” because of Congress’ failure to extend a law that makes it easier for the government to spy on foreign phone calls and e-mails that pass through the United States.

Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney met with Republican congressional leaders in the Oval Office to discuss the impasse with the Democratic-led House. Lawmakers left Thursday for a 12-day recess without acting on the law, which expires at midnight Saturday.

Priorities, priorities. I’m sure if they were voting to approve, say, funding more abortions, they’d have pulled an all-nighter.
