Why is there a motion to adjourn in the house?

[GOTV]

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

1. Repug Heather Wilson asked to adjourn so the Nati'l Security Director can look at the FISA bill. nt

[Don Claybrook]

2. because Heather Wilson (R-Felon) asked for the adjournment

She asked for it so that the Director of National Intelligence (Bush employee) would have time to either bless the bill that's before the House or say it's not acceptable.

Yes, Republicans want permission from the Executive Branch to do the work of the Legislative Branch.

3. This is gonna heat up, I think.

[GOTV]

5. Yeah. They (the GOP) now seem suspicious abotu their ability to vote...

... because the display is not working.

[bigtree]

4. to drag the process out

standard stuff

[GOTV]

6. To what purpose? Certainly they'd all like to get home for recess.

[bigtree]

11. Democrats have at least three major issues they want to legislate first

obviously, the republicans are engaged in a juvenile attempt to muck that up.

7. And now the display isn't working, and the repukes can't see the vote

So they are complaining (what's new), and trying to say that the voting system is malfunctioning. The speaker keeps telling them that it is not broken, only the display isn't working.

Perhaps on purpose after last night? hehe.

[GOTV]

10. If I was them, and I really believed the GOP version of events, I'd be very suspicious....

.... of the broken display. It looks very fishy.

8. She called for adjournment because the repukes didn't get their way.

The motion won't pass. We have a Majority.:7

9. Frankly I do not understand all those rules.

It is like trying to keep every ones phone number in your mind. It messes up the peace one has. I am happy to just see the end count. I used to take one man, like Sanders, and believe what he said just so I would not go nuts hearing all the tales they talk about on the floor.
