Republicans accuse Democrats of moving too slowly on spy bill

after reading through the article, i wonder if this was the reason for moving slow:

Democrats objected to provisions in the GOP bill that grant the attorney general and the director of national intelligence the authority to approve all wiretaps, even if one caller is in the United States, with minimal court oversight. The Democratic bills required the FISA court to oversee the process. The administration initially proposed to give the authority only to the attorney general, but agreed to add the director of national intelligence after Democrats objected to putting more power in the hands of embattled Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.
