Patriot Act Rejected by the Senate Today

[BingoTheClowno]

On a Senate vote of 52-47, mostly Republican backers of the measure fell eight short of the needed 60 to end debate and move to passage of it.

Proponents of the legislation warned that much of sweeping anti-terror law was to expire at the end of the month, and if it did, the nation could be placed at increased risk.

"We have a clear choice before us today: Do we advance against terrorism to make America safer or do we retreat," Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, a Tennessee Republican, said shortly before the vote.

Senate Democratic and Republican foes of the proposed renewal said the law could be swiftly reauthorized if lawmakers agreed to better balance national security with civil liberties.

there's hope for humanity, even though we're on double secret martial law and the president said that the constitution is "just a G-D piece of paper" the other day.

gotta love the picture in front of the press club's owl of bohemia(moloch..)....mr. bill frist, do you join in the mock human sacrifice by actually wearing one of the robes or are you just there at the grove as audience to the spectacle?
