(Small) Win on Patriot Act.

By Lauren Gelman on

The House just unanimously passed a 'Motion to Instruct' conferees to attach 4 year sunsets to sections 206, 215 and the Lone Wolf Provision of the Intelligence Reform bill.  No member spoke against the motion.  Sunsets estimated at 4-10 years.

It really hurts to call this a win... but beating back the FBI and our power hungry executive is no small task so many congratulations to all the people who worked so hard for this!
