As of now the Patriot Act expires on June 1st then.
As he put it, there are those who want a “straight extension, those who like USA Freedom and those who like nothing”.
Those want a straight extension of the Patriot Act are in a distinct minority and supporters of the USA Freedom Act still cannot muster the necessary super majority to advance the bill. The result means those who are more than happy to simply let Section 215 expire on May 31 are in the driver’s seat.
Count me in on the group that wants to see it expire. It is also just terrible to see the words 'patriot', 'USA', 'Freedom' in this mess.
