While the bill has little chance of making it to President Obama’s desk so he can veto it, its several features may serve as a parts bin for reform efforts as the Patriot Act comes due for another round of reauthorizations in June.

    Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did, and it never will. Find out just what people will submit to, and you have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them; and these will continue until they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress. -- Frederick Douglass, August 4, 1857

    Perfect opportunity for the GOP to earn the people's votes in 2016.
    Not a chance.

    Isn't the Patriot Act responsible for the formation of TSA as well? Or is TSA under the bill that established Homeland Security?
