House to Hold Closed Session over FISA Update

This is not a common event, and if you have a "blue dog" representative, call him, and make it clear that you will never vote for him for anything under any circumstances if he approves Telco immunity.

I'm still not sure what put some spine in the House dems, but when Pelosi is saying things like, "the president is wrong, and he knows it", it's clear that something has given them the will to resist Mr. Nineteen percent.

My theory is that when they left without passing telco immunity, they were overwhelmed at the support that they received, and that they realize that opposing Bush on anything for any reason is a winning tactic.

Of course, Senator Rockefeller is still determined to put telco immunity back in there. My guess is that he was briefed and signed off on it, and thinks that it will harm him politically.
