Bob Novak spells out why Nancy Pelosi let the House leave town without extending the government’s authority to spy on terrorists.
Turns out it was the nation’s trial lawyers, who are salivating to sue the telecoms who cooperated with the Bush administration in their eavesdropping efforts, who had convinced Democrats to act against the country’s best interests. And they give their campaign funding almost exclusively to Democrats.
Pelosi may have had another motive: John Edwards has to have something to do now that he’s not going to be president.
