Remember the Patriot Act?
Well, it's still around, albeit in amended form after whistleblower Edward Snowden showed the world just how much the NSA surveilled Americans. On Wednesday, the US Senate had the chance to strike down some more of the surveillance measures in the laws. It did not.

This was after Majority Leader Mitch McConnell attracted attention by introducing his own amendment that would effectively erase the bipartisan amendment should the Senate approve it. . ." ____________________________________________________ MORE?
