“Great, so the fear mongering of cultural Marxists like Rand Paul won the day, and we’re on our way back to a pre-9/11 world.”
Pre-9/11 ... Yes, back when the Constitution and Bill of Rights still held at least the illusion of being followed ...
So you prefer a police state? “Great” - GTF out of my country and move to North Korea, Cuba or Venezuela!
I wasn't aware collecting telephone information that is not viewed but by a court order is destroying the bill of rights. If you have a problem with some aspects of the Patriot Act and other bills, then fix them. You don't scrap the whole thing and forbid law enforcement the tools they need to keep tabs on terrorists. Terrorists are not protected by the Constitution.
