For those with short memories, this is what Nancy Pelosi herself said the American people wanted from Congress:

A month and a half later, we see what she was talking about - her genuine commitment to what she believed that we, the people, want in the House.

Yes, this echoes what the Republicans did as a majority. It was wrong then.

It is wrong now.

Somehow, though, I doubt that some of the people who were up in arms about this sort of conduct under Hastert will say a word about it now.

Frankly speaking, I think you have the wrong idea about what is happening. It is crystal clear to me. Pelosi wants an up and down vote on condemnation or not of the surge in troops. --WITHOUT additional garbage items thrown in as would be the case if other issues or amendments were allowed. The republicajs did the same thing on other issues when they were in power. Perhaps you will note that each representative will have a chance to speak on it and other allied issues perhaps to be taken up later.

That makes good sense to me..

"As is" it is a NON-binding resoloution on a simple question. How could changing the question find an answer to that question????
