We're at Netroots! The Nancy Pelosi Q&AWe're surrounded by bleary eyed, hungover bloggers...there were some late parties last night. But it looks like a full house for the "Ask the Speaker" Q&A with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.). Netroots Executive Director Gina Cooper just gave attendees 10 seconds to get any loud protests/shenanigans out of their system. Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-Tex.) just introduced Pelosi, and now Pelosi is making comments. "107 days until the election," Pelosi reminds us. (She recently called President Bush a "total failure.") A few people in the audience are holding up their ACLU pocket-Constitutions while she answers the questions. Yay! Although their arms are going to get tired...this is a two-hour Q&A. She's now defending her moves on FISA. She points the finger at the 17 Democrats who supported the Republicans for the bill's passage. She hints that things will change after a new president is sworn in. Pelosi supports Net Neutrality. She accuses the Bells of standing in the way of innovation by opposing it. Hey look! Al Gore just showed up!

I was the first person to demand, in public, that President Richard Nixon resign on April 25, 1974 near Bad Axe, Michigan with 400 or more witnesses. I also founded and distributed the United States national petition to support the recognition of Bangladesh as a free nation.

I want to know, why she took impeachment off the table, and why she is not pushing to have Karl Rove put in jail.

Hi Suzanne! I was one of those people holding up my ACLU pocket-Constitution. You can see my blog post on it here:

Thank you so much for supplying those for us. I certainly hope Speaker Pelosi gets the message.
