Hot Air – Senate Fails to Extend Patriot Act

And Thank You Senator Paul.

(Hot Air) Rushing to beat a deadline, the Senate instead beat itself into paralysis over the Patriot Act. In an overnight session that ended up producing nothing but frustration, the upper chamber rejected the House’s reform bill for NSA surveillance, and then failed to move any extension for the existing program. The Department of Justice warned that the NSA will start shutting down its programs immediately.
