  • Questions

    Why indeed is Hoyer connecting with Rockefeller on this issue? Has he stated his motivations?

    I thought this whole FISA issue was being battered around by the House Judiciary Committee as an issue of constitutional interpretaion. Hoyer is not a member of that committee - why is he now spearheading this bill in the House?

    Like many readers here, I follow politics pretty closely and have a fairly good grasp of the major issues. But I still have a hard time figuring out the machinations and undertakings of Congress. It doesn't surprise me that the Average Joe in this country stays completely apathetic about what their congresspeople are doing. Hell, a lot of people can't even name who they are.
