Congrats America! Providing for consideration of H.R. 514, to extend expiring provisions of the USA PATRIOT Improvement and Reauthorization Act of 2005 and Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 has passed.
This vote was so under the radar and I heard little to nothing of a murmur about it in the media. Oh, I wonder why? We can't possibly give up the right of the government to constantly snoop and have unprecedented powers to imprison it's citizens.
The best part of this is that the Democrats were the majority of the Nays. Now lets all not get a chair and hoist them up over our shoulders. The only reason why is because the majority of the yeas were republican. The democrats and the republicans both voted for the passage of the PATRIOT ACT, PATRIOT ACT II, VICTORY ACT and MILITARY COMMISSIONS ACT.
