Pelosi Shuts Down Michael Jackson Resolution

The AP reports that "House Speaker Nancy Pelosi shut the door Thursday to a resolution honoring Michael Jackson because debate on the symbolic measure could raise 'contrary views' about the pop star's life. Lawmakers are free to use House speeches 'to express their sympathy or their praise any time that they wish,' said Pelosi, D-Calif. 'I don't think it's necessary for us to have a resolution.'"
