Rand Paul voted with Mitch McConnell and party leadership and against the recommendation of almost every civil liberties group. His vote buy us 6 months to come up with another solution before the USA PATRIOT Act is renewed next summer.
But Mike Lee and Ted Cruz voted the other way. Their vote was in agreement with the ACLU and the EFF and even Glenn Greenwald. They also voted against party leadership and against Mitch McConnell. Just about everyone except ardent Paul supporters thinks they voted the right way on this.
