House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said on Edward Snowden, “We have to know what is it that he has. And I don't know that he has that much substance,” Pelosi said on NBC’s "Meet the Press." “He may know something about the machinery. I don't know that he knows that much about the content. But I think that anybody thought he was a hero to begin with, now that he's threatening in any event to share information with Russia and China, if he fact he has any information, I think that should disabuse anybody of the notion-- that he is a hero.” | John Shinkle/POLITICO Pelosi sees national gay marriage in five years

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi says gay marriage could be the law of the land in five years.

“Well, I would certainly hope so,” Pelosi said in an interview aired Sunday on NBC’s "Meet the Press." “Course I've been in this - shall we say - crusade for a long time. And to see the pace with which it has accelerated in the past few years is very encouraging. Let's hope it's even sooner than that.”

The Democratic congresswoman from California said changing the law won’t compromise anyone’s religion.

“We're not talking about saying that religions have to perform wedding ceremonies,” Pelosi said. “We're talking about the state-- what the state does and what the state recognizes. People have a right to believe what they believe. But we are a country that professes not to discriminate and this is a discrimination.”
