NSA Update.

A little while ago we noted that a bill to curb significantly NSA's ability to bulk collect telephone metadata in the U.S. had passed the House of Representatives and was on its way to the Senate where it looked good but Leader McConnell opposed it. Well, Leader McConnell has had a tiger by the tail since becoming Leader and the bill has hit the airpump. The Senate can't pass it but this is good! The original section of the Patriot Act authorizing the bulk collection "sunsets" on June 1 meaning out of bidness, the whole shebang! Heh-heh-heh-heh. And the senators have left Washington. Heh-heh-heh-heh. "Why don't YOU have a drink with Mitch McConnell?" Heh-heh-heh-heh.
