Tell me if I've got this right about the current status of the Patriot Act........since the House voted for a 1-month extension yesterday and the Senate voted for a 6-month extension and then went home, there must be a reconciliation between the 2 for the Patriot Act to remain in force, but it is against the rules for such action to take place because the Senate has already stopped meeting.

So my question is what is going to happen to the Patriot Act come Dec. 31 w/no resolution? Looks to me like both houses will HAVE TO cut their Christmas vacation short...tough LOL...in order to provide protection for this country. Is this the corrct "take"?

I was wondering about the resolution on the Patriot Act too. Can someone answer for us?

Where is Toby? Has someone called him? How can I start my day without his morning message from Mississippi?

We have had lots of rain for the past few days - but no icy weather and that is fine with me!

MERRY CHRISTMAS DEAR FRIENDS! You all mean so much to me - your prayers and friendship have sustained me through very difficult times....I love you all!

I have no idea what happens with the Patriot Act now; I hadn't realized the Senate went home as planned. I thought they were going to have to stay. Hmmm.
