We salute you, Congressman Boehner!

Pity the Repoblicans can only sprout a pair when they are in the Minority. And even then, it’s not often.

[HardStarboard]

This needs to be done more often to dramatize the Democrat's lack of focus on anything serious and focus on playing politics.

Needs to be coordinated with press conferences, blog articles and other propaganda....kinda like the Democrats are good at doing.

[Feiny]

Why am I picturing the scene from Animal House?

We are not going to sit here & listen to you bad mouth the Untited States of America!

[alwaysconservative]

I applaud that he is highlighting the problem, but what good will it do, really?

[Constitution Day]

Outstanding!

[savedbygrace]

Can Bush order the House into session until the bill is acted on?

[rep-always]

I just called Boehner’s office and congratulated him on the walk out.

[A2J]

About time some of the GOP found that they had a swinging set.

[spectre]

High fives!

[SE Mom]

[bonehead4freedom]

Damn!Showing leadership !I have said some negative things about the Republicans as of late but when they do something right I ‘m glad to shout from the rooftops WAY TO GO GUYS I’M PROUD OF YOU !

[JewishRighter]

Must be some kind of photoshop, video thing where they make it look like the Republican congressional delegation finally grew a pair.

[JewishRighter]

Now, the home-run MSM question of the day: will they run that video on any major news broadcast in the next 24 hours.

I’ll give you all 3 guesses.

[what's up]

In the old days the Repubs would be depicted all over the place as childish over this tactic.

The weakness of Pelosi and Reid are now seen in that this tactic is now going to work.

[KC_Conspirator]

Good for them! No wonder the democrats have the lowest rating in history. They are hauling people into congress on fraudulent contempt charges instead of doing real work.

[skeeter]

The MSM will be all over this one...

(Must I add the tag?)

[aomagrat]

Congress does not have time to address FISA. They are too busy with more important things, like steriod use in baseball.

[Miss Didi]

RUSH: The Democrats once again bit the dust on the FISA bill yesterday, which contained a clause granting immunity to the telephone companies, telecommunications companies which provided data to the president for its warrantless wiretap searching program. Now, yesterday was an opportunity because of the Potomac primary, the vote was yesterday in the Senate, and we have three senators running for the presidency. We have Senator McCain, we have Senator Obama, and we have Senator Hillary. It would have been very easy for all three to take a couple minutes off the campaign, head over to Capitol Hill, cast your vote on the very serious issue of American security. Two of the three did so. Kudos to Senator McCain. He made sure he was there while fighting off this pesky challenge from Governor Huckabee. He voted to preserve the powers of the intelligence agency in the executive branch to defend and protect this country.

Also, hats off to Senator Obama. He showed up. He voted. He voted against it. In so doing, he demonstrated he is not fit to lead this country as commander-in-chief. He has voted against every reasonable authority that has come before him in the form of legislation in terms of intelligence and protecting this country. But at least Obama showed up. At least he voted. At least he told the country he's incompetent. Mrs. Clinton did not show up. And, remember, as my friend Andy McCarthy at National Review Online points out, Mrs. Clinton had a whole lot to say way back when about Obama's "present" votes in Illinois, correct? And here she doesn't even show up to vote on the intelligence bill yesterday, the FISA bill. It was a very important set of votes, perhaps as important a set of votes as there had been since she's been in the Senate. They involved issues that go to the core of her fitness to be president, and she decided she had better things to do than her job. She was in Texas, or at least en route to Texas to make a speech last night, in which she totally ignored what had happened in the Potomac primary, did not mention Obama, did not mention the vote, just ignored it. It didn't happen. Same way she dealt with the scandals inside the White House.
