Now Maybe They'll Go Home
Vote Is Near on Post-9/11 Reforms
I'm not going to cast any aspersions for the delay in Congress in passing the intelligence reform bill. From what I gather it sounds rather complicated and probably should not have been a rush job. Also, the kinks seem to have been worked out of the omnibus spending bill which means Congress can wrap up and go home.
What's interesting is that traditionally, Congress adjourns in October and things here in DC slow down considerably. But increasingly since the GOP became the majority, Congress doesn't get its main job of passing the 13 or so appropriations bills and things drag on into November and December.
