This is a good sign. And to be clear, USA Freedom is just another reauthorization of NSA spying. There were motions to extend the Patriot Act by just a few days (even one more day), all objected to by Rand Paul/Ron Wyden. So the next vote is Sunday the 31st. Hopefully the windbags (who truly believe the US is under constant attack and the only way to save us from these horrible terrorists is to passively treat every citizen as a terrorist) will lose this battle. The US did just fine before the Patriot Act. It will do just fine, once again, without it.
