“A key Senate committee approved today a measure that would give congressional blessing to the NSA’s bulk collection of domestic telephone metadata, and bolster the legal underpinnings of the controversial snooping program.  ‘The NSA call-records program is legal and subject to extensive congressional and judicial oversight, and I believe it contributes to our national security,’ Feinstein said in a statement, after the committee approved the measure in private.  Among other things, the package specifically adds bulk phone-metadata collection to the business records provision of the Patriot Act.”
