According to the New York Times, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says the House will change its rules so as to block the requirement of a vote on the free trade agreement with Colombia.
Pelosi says the House will vote on the rules change policy Thursday, effectively putting off a vote on a free trade agreement that is a key priority of the Bush administration.''The president took his action. I will take mine tomorrow,'' Pelosi said.
If she succeeds, the Colombian Unfair Trade Agreement is dead for now.
More, after the fold.
