Damn!. Looks like the Patriot Act is going to get renewed.

Not without Senator Paul on board. Due to Senate rules, Paul can single-handedly block final passage of the bill until Thursday. The Patriot Act expires on Monday.

Paul has vowed to do exactly this.

As when Clinton's Assault Weapons Ban sun-settted in '04, If the Patriot Act expires, it will have to be passed again as a new law, something that will be far more difficult in today's political climate.
