WASHINGTON -- Minutes before a midnight deadline, President Barack Obama signed into law a four-year extension of post-Sept. 11 powers to search records and conduct roving wiretaps in pursuit of terrorists.
"It's an important tool for us to continue dealing with an ongoing terrorist threat," Obama said Friday after a meeting with French President Nicolas Sarkozy.
With Obama in France, the White House said the president used an autopen machine that holds a pen and signs his actual signature. It is only used with proper authorization of the president.
Congress sent the bill to the president with only hours to go on Thursday before the provisions expired at midnight. Votes taken in rapid succession in the Senate and House came after lawmakers rejected attempts to temper the law enforcement powers to ensure that individual liberties are not abused.
The Senate voted 72-23 for the legislation to renew three terrorism-fighting authorities. The House passed the measure 250-153 on an evening vote. http://www.forbes.com/feeds/ap/2011/05/27/general-us-patriot-act_8488173.htmlWASHINGTON -- Minutes before a midnight deadline, President Barack Obama signed into... more

The Los Angeles Times reports, "The Senate late Tuesday passed a three-month extension of provisions of the USA Patriot Act...to avoid a lapse of elements of the terrorist surveillance program that expire at the end of the month." Democrats hope to prevent national security from playing a prominent role in the 2012 elections by "sending their bill to the Republican-led House, which earlier this week overcame opposition from conservative lawmakers to pass an extension through Dec. 8."

Sunday could have meant the government was no longer given permission to wiretap the phones of Americans and seize their records and property.
But since the bill was approved by Congressional Democrats earlier this week and signed into law by President Obama on Saturday, this Sunday is just another Sunday for Americans living with the Patriot Act.Obama Signs Patriot Act for Another Year with NO Privacy... more
