A procedural recap of what happened, and is happening, on FISA:

  1. The House passed an immunity-free bill, H.R. 3773
  2. The Senate passed a bill with immunity in it, S. 2248
  3. The Senate stripped out the text of H.R. 3773 and substituted in the text of S. 2248, then sent the amended H.R. 3773 back to the House
  4. Conyers and Reyes have an amendment to H.R. 3773 (as amended by the Senate) that would strip out what the Senate put in (the text of S. 2248) and put in its place the new, immunity-free language.

The House just voted on and passed the rule that governs debate on the question of whether or not to accept the Conyers-Reyes amendment to the Senate amendment to H.R. 3773.

Debate will be for one hour.
