A last-minute bid to reform NSA spying before lawmakers break for a
week-long recess failed early Saturday morning after hours of debate and
filibuster overnight when Senate lawmakers voted 57-42 against the USA
Freedom Act.
.
Senator Mitch McConnell then tried to lead an effort to extend the key
provision in the Patriot Act that has been used to justify NSA spying,
which is set to expire on June 1. But that vote also failed. Temporarily,
that means the governments bulk collection of phone records from U.S.
telecoms is on hold.
.
USA Freedom Act aimed to put an end to that program, first uncovered by
USA Today in 2006 and re-exposed in 2013 by NSA whistleblower Edward
Snowden.
.
The bill called for records to be retained by telecoms and would have
forced the NSA to obtain court orders from the Foreign Intelligence
Surveillance Court to gain access to them. It also would have required the
agency to use specific search terms to narrow its access to only relevant
records.
.
A companion bill passed in the House earlier this month by a landslide
vote of 338 to 88 but encountered trouble in the Senate where opponents
said it would handicap the fight against terrorism and harm national
security.
