Patriot Act Extension FAILS

[low preference guy]

In 2010, 10 Republicans in the House opposed.

Today, 26.

Small progress, but progress.

I wonder how the vote will be in the Senate.

 

[Ricky201]

Hurray for Amash!

 

[Jeremy]

Bobby Schilling voted no.

 

[yatez112]

Geoff Davis here in KY voted for it as well. Shame...

Yarmuth, too. Gah!

These are the 26 GOP Nay votes.

So far, I only see one or two "tea party" people.

Amash
Bartlett
Bishop (UT)
Broun (GA)
Campbell
Duncan (TN)
Fitzpatrick
Gibson
Graves (GA)
Heller
Hultgren
Johnson (IL)
Jones
Kingston
Labrador
Mack
Marchant
McClintock
Paul
Rehberg
Roe (TN)
Rohrabacher
Schilling
Schweikert
Woodall
Young (AK)

Paul Broun is one of the most conservative members of the house. There's been many times when the vote was 433-2 with Ron and Paul Broun voting "no."

That's fine and good for him, but he's got, what, a 30 year career?

Not a "new maverick" Tea Party guy by any stretch of the imagination.

 

[silentshout]

Unbelievably, my rep John Campbell (R) voted no! He used to be pretty much a serious neocon. He also surprised me by voting with RP on something else recently.

 

[Sola_Fide]

Yarmuth, too. Gah!

Yarmuth said that Obama's spending reductions are "bold".

 

[ClayTrainor]

Thanks to your dedicated efforts, the motion to suspend the rules and pass the extension of three PATRIOT Act provisions failed tonight in the House of Representatives!

Does this mean the terrorists have won?

 

[Chester Copperpot]

Aquabuddha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Vessol]

So wait, the Patriot Act was not extended and thus is not able to be used anymore? Or were just certain things not added?

 

[Sola_Fide]

Aquabuddha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You rang?

Contact him and thank him if you can!

I believe some key survelliance provisions were not extended. Someone correct me if I'm wrong here...

They wanted to extend it through a quick procedure or something like that. I think they can still vote for it through the regular procedure.

But I am not sure. I might be wrong.

 

[Brett85]

McClintock is fairly Tea.

McClintock switched his vote from last time as well.

 

[Jeremy]

McClintock is fairly Tea.

So is Schilling.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suspension_of_the_rules_in_the_United_States_Congress

Suspension of the rules is a procedure generally used to quickly pass non-controversial bills in the United States House of Representatives.

A motion to suspend the rules is in order on Mondays and Tuesdays and towards the end of a session of Congress and may only be made by the Speaker of the House or their designee, though it is customary for committee chairs to write the Speaker requesting a suspension. Once a member makes a motion to "suspend the rules" and take some action, debate is limited to 40 minutes, no amendments can be offered to the motion or the underlying matter, and a 2/3 majority of Members present and voting is required to agree to the motion.

http://rules.house.gov/singlepages.aspx?NewsID=91

Items to be considered under suspension of the rules:
# H.R. 514, A bill to extend expiring provisions of the USA PATRIOT Improvement and Reauthorization Act of 2005 and Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 relating to access to business records, individual terrorists as agents of foreign powers, and roving wiretaps until December 8, 2011.

LOL apparently they didn't realize this was a controversial issue.
