They're going to bundle FISA with the War Supplmental - UPDATED: war funding today, FISA tomorrow?

UPDATE: The best information I have is the Rules Committee is acting on the FISA bill right now, and they're waiving the requirements that would conceivably allow them to act on both war funding and FISA as soon as tomorrow.  However, war funding may happen tonight, with FISA tomorrow.  I apologize for trying to get this information out swiftly.  It's still possible but not a done deal.

Here it is.  The final indignity.  Funding for endless war AND etching out the 4th Amendment will be combined into the same bill to force enough compliance from Bush Dogs to get this bill passed.  "By any means necessary" for Hoyer and his corporate lobbying buddies.

The House Rules Committee is meeting at this hour on the "FISA Amedments Act."  Later today, they'll be meeting on a technical fix that allows them to waive PAYGO rules and waive consideration of a bill within 24 hours of its rules being set.

The plan is to put the two together.
