pelosi is currently offering a privileged resolution (rarely used House tactic) to force an oversight investigation of abuses related to the iraq war and condemns congress for "failing to conduct oversight of an executive branch controlled by the same party".
the minority in the house has far less power than in the senate. but they're forcing the republicans to go on record voting against an inquiry. the republicans on the floor are scrambling to find parliamentary tricks to stop the privileged motion. unless they find some loophole, the vote will happen in about 30 minutes.
