Senate Votes To Turn NSA Spying Back On, But With Reforms

“After allowing portions of the Patriot Act to expire early Monday morning, lawmakers voted on Tuesday to reinstate the National Security Agency’s sweeping data collection programs, though with modest reforms to the agency’s programs and the secret court charged with keeping it in check.  In a 67-32 vote, the upper chamber agreed to pass the USA Freedom Act, effectively ending the two-day lapse in the NSA’s programs. The act re-establishes modified versions of the expired Patriot Act provisions.  White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest confirmed Tuesday that the administration was still issuing regular orders under the expired Section 215 of the Patriot Act.”
