FISA
I really dont understand why it is so important when exactly this bill expired. I guess there may be specific contested cases, but it definitely feels like someone is spending too much time fussing over the wrong issues. And once they decided exactly when the bill expired, how does that help. It expired at 12 AM on sunday. Is that eastern time? Central? Mountain? Pacific? It doesnt matter how much energy you spend specifying the exact time, there will always be away to get around it for specific controversial cases. Maybe it's just me.

Interesting article. It said they've held roughly 97 meeting about when this bill expired? Really? I definetley agree with you that it really doesn't matter EXACTLY what time the bill expires. The article even said that Bush had extended it for 15 more days. So what's the big deal in knowing the exact time that this bill expired?
