House Votes to Approve Patriot Act Reauthorization

Yesterday, I posted a series of links detailing Congressional and advocacy groups’ opposition to the reauthorization of H.R. 3199, the PATRIOT Act. Today, the House voted 251 to 174 in favor of the bill. It moves to the Senate for a floor vote on Friday. However, strong opposition promises this will be a contentious battle. And news that Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid is supporting a delay in the vote, as well as a filibuster if necessary.
