Well, it wasn't an all-or-nobody vote (like Obamacare, where zero Republicans voted for it).  But it's a shame.  We definitely need to stop domestic spying, not that I'm assuming the NSA or the executive branch (held by R or D) would actually follow the law.

Let's see...Fox and Rush will report and comment first....Drudge will pick it up....NPR should have it in about 10 days.

Lame duck session. Once the new class of senators are sworn in, this may come up again and have a different outcome.
