Rand Paul Vows To Block Patriot Act Extension Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said on Saturday that he would block the Senate from passing an extension of the Patriot Act, which is set to expire at 12:01 a.m. Monday. "Forcing us to choose between our rights and our safety is a false choice and we are better than that as a nation and as a people," Paul said in a statement Saturday that was first reported by Politico. "So tomorrow, I will force the expiration of the NSA illegal spy program." Paul also opposes the USA Freedom Act, a bipartisan bill that passed the House. The legislation would reauthorize key provisions in the Patriot Act, but require the government to stop collecting and storing the bulk metadata from phone records of Americans, and transition over six months to a system in which it must ask telecommunications companies for that data instead. The bill did not earn enough votes in the Senate to move to a final vote last week.

I'd like to see that. However, I'll believe it when I see it.
Fred - Ethyl is dead along with Lucy and Ricky. Oh, and the US Constitution is dead, also.
I'm gonna go out on a limb and predict that something will happen between now and then - a false flag of some sort that will ensure that this abomination is extended. Oh, and Rand Paul? He's a duplicitous weasel. Was this you ?

“Truth is treason in the empire of lies.” - Ron Paul
Americans who have no experience with, or knowledge of, tyranny believe that only terrorists will experience the unchecked power of the state. They will believe this until it happens to them, or their children, or their friends.
