Senate approves USA Freedom Act 67-32. Amendments failed. [Mod Edit]

[Brian4Liberty]

Rand's amendments failed.

Don't you mean McConnell's amendments failed?

I don't believe either of his amendments were allowed to be voted on.

Good question. Which of "Rand's Amendments" were actually voted on?

My impression was that Rand's amendments never got voted on. As in, I guess they "failed" in the sense that he wasn't able to get them added. Someone correct me if mistaken

fix incorrect thread title

I think I better see a doctor to see if I got freedom cancer.

Good idea - if you got it, you really don't wanna let that shit metastasize and spread, or you'll be all ate-up with it!

so that which was 'illegal' under the Patriot Act, is now legal under the 'freedom act'...is that the gist...?

They had to vote on the House bill; other than procedural stuff, they couldn't amend it without it going back to the House where it would surely fail.
