The Senate has voted overwhelmingly to renew the USA Patriot Act
Posted on March 2, 2006
Via CNN, and in a surprising move to me, the Senate voted overwhelmingly to renew the Patriot Act.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate on Thursday voted overwhelmingly to renew the USA Patriot Act, after months of pitched debate over legislation that supporters said struck a better balance between privacy rights and the government’s power to hunt down terrorists.
The 89-10 vote marked a bright spot in President Bush’s troubled second term as his approval ratings dipped over the war in Iraq and his administration’s response to Hurricane Katrina. Renewing the act, congressional Republicans said, was key to preventing more terror attacks in the United States.
More as this develops, but I bet the ACLU is having a snot-flinging hissy fit right about now.
