Aw crap, which genius agreed to that schedule?
Relax. The GOP Convention is 9/1 - 9/4. 9/1 is Labor Day and the House schedule calls for a District Work Period from 9/2 to 9/5.
The House is in session 9/8 and is scheduled to adjourn 9/26. This will be an attempt to avoid any vote that might give the GOP the opportunity to attach drilling language. Pelosi wants to avoid a vote on drilling at all costs.
There are 11 of 12 appropriations bills awaiting action. Unreal. This is usually handled long before now. The Democrats are going to try and pass continuing resolutions to keep the government funded long enough for (they presume) Obama to take office so they can avoid a veto for their prolifigate spending.
There’s no chance Pelosi will recall the House during the GOP Convention.
