Without Debate, Senate Renews PATRIOT Act

The Senate today voted to extend the PATRIOT Act for another year, as requested by the Obama Administration. The vote came without any debate, and by voice vote so that individuals did not have to make their position public.

Perhaps the most galling part of the vote was that not a single privacy provision was added to the bill, despite Congressional Democrats promising such reforms.


Nice to see you're getting all that "change" you voted for.
