Hey. Looks like this might happen this time. A bill has been sent out of committee, passed overhelmingly with bi-partisan and White House support, to the full House of Representatives that would revise the Patriot Act to limit metadata collection and make other changes. Identical bill "gaining momentum," per the Quasi's, in the Senate where it is opposed however by Majority leader Mitch McConnell, of who fellow Republican Jason Chaffetz said:
“I don’t think he’s listening to America. The seminal question is how much liberty are we going to give up for security? People are on the brink. They’re scared out of their wits.”
Chaffetz, why don't YOU get a drink with Mitch McConnell. Heh-heh-heh.
