Three Day Weekend

Both the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and emergency contraception have a window of 72 hours after the fact to sort the paperwork out. President Bush came out saying the need to act fast sometimes necessitates circumventing the paperwork of obtaining warrants. Women's health proponents argue that, with only a 72-hour window for effectiveness, obtaining a prescription can cause a dangerous delay.

Am I the only one seeing some common ground here? Even if it is only the pains of sorting out paperwork over a 3-day weekend, that is something to build on.
