Senate Rejects Extension of Patriot Act

HL Hanging With The Man.
Excerpt: WASHINGTON - The Senate on Friday refused to reauthorize major portions of the USA Patriot Act after critics complained they infringed too much on Americans' privacy and liberty, dealing a huge defeat to the Bush administration and Republican leaders.
In a crucial vote early Friday, the bill's Senate supporters were not able to get the 60 votes needed to overcome a filibuster by Sens. Russ Feingold, D-Wis., and Larry Craig, R-Idaho, and their allies. The final vote was 52-47.



H.L.s take
Russ Feingold for President. He came through for us, like he said he would, I got a little pissed at Russ for voting for Johnny Roberts but this makes up for it. No longer will I show the pic of me and Russ where I blacked out my eyes, because I did not want to be seen with him. OK lets get realistic here for a minute, who do you think wil make a better President? Russ, or the lady that is currenlty supporting a flag burning amendment with a Utah Conservative Republican? The answer is obvious. Russ for President. Lets hear what you think in the comments box.
