You knew this was coming…
Senate committee OKs new FBI powers.
The renewal of the Patriot Act, it’s been waiting in the shadows until now, and here it is. Should it not be voted back in the bill is scheduled to sunset late this year, so Congress is setting forward a new bill to ammend those powers and renew the bill itself. The usual suspects are once more pushing the bill out onto the Senate floor, but the committee members are still adding ammendments to it.
Word from CNN is that these Senate members are trying to impose additional limits on the bill’s powers and make it easier for the use of these powers to be challenged.
I guess the only thing to do is write your Senators. Personally, I’ll just wait and see…
