Senate Poised To Let NSA Spying Expire

WASHINGTON Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) appeared on track to succeed Sunday in
forcing certain controversial provisions of the Patriot Act to expire,
including the National Security Agency's sweeping data collection program.
But the lapse isnt likely to last long.
.
Running down the procedural clock in a sensational emergency session
Sunday night, Paul left the Senate in a stalemate on the House-passed USA
Freedom Act. The bill would have reformed the NSAs controversial bulk data
collection program, justified under the expiring Section 215 of the
Patriot Act.
.
The USA Freedom Act would allow collection to continue while the
intelligence community works with telecommunications companies to reform
the program. It failed a last-minute vote in the Senate last week, leaving
lawmakers with a mere eight hours in session before the Patriot Act
provisions expire at the stroke of midnight.
.
If it occurs, the expiration Sunday will largely be the fault of
procedural hurdles, rather than genuine opposition in the Hills upper
chamber. Although Pauls staunch opposition requires the Senate to go
through a series of procedural runarounds, the USA Freedom Act is likely
to make it through the Senate next week.
.
NSA critics in the Senate praised the long-awaited end of the bulk data
dragnet, saying it now forces a debate on the Hill over the agencys
controversial programs.
.
Congress now has the opportunity to build on this victory by making
meaningful and lasting reforms to U.S. surveillance laws, Sen. Ron Wyden
(D-Ore.), a longtime NSA critic, said in a statement Sunday night. After
Republican leaders stalled for months in a failed attempt to rerun their
old playbook for extending mass surveillance, they now have no excuse for
not allowing a full debate on the USA Freedom Act as soon as possible. In
my view this is the best way to bring new transparency and reforms to U.S.
surveillance programs and to bring certainty to our intelligence agencies.
