GOP leaders at odds on NSA reform
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell opposes the reform!
Does he know a federal court ruled that it is illegal?
GOP leaders at odds on NSA reform
Read the full story here:
The GOP-led House on Wednesday passed the most sweeping reforms to the nation’s intelligence laws in years, setting up a clash with Republicans in the Senate.In a 338-88 vote, the House overwhelmingly approved the USA Freedom Act, which would prevent the NSA from collecting bulk metadata about the phone numbers people dial and when their calls are placed.
“I’m not ignorant to the threats we face, but a clean reauthorization would be irresponsible,” said Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R-Wis.), who authored the legislation and also wrote the original Patriot Act. “Congress never intended Section 215 to allow bulk collection. That program is illegal and based on a blatant misinterpretation of the law.”

“We hold these truths to be self-evident,” former vice president Biden said during a campaign event in Texas on Monday. "All men and women created by — you know, you know, the thing.”

Re: GOP leaders at odds on NSA reform
The GOP at odds with one another ! ? ! ?
Shocking ! ! !
Is McConnell aware of the court ruling? Hard to say with Mitch, but he was probably brainwashed by Obama in one of their recent agreeable meetings.
The "USA Freedom Act" and "Patriot Act" author Jim Sensenbrenner who apparently believes that laws passed by congress with patriotic names are not subject to "blatant misinterpretation". That's why these people make them so simple and easy to understand.
