McConnell Introduces Bill to Extend NSA Bulk Spying
(http://www.democracynow.org/2015/4/23/headlines/mcconnell_introduces_bill_to_extend_nsa_bulk_spyin g)
Senate Republicans have introduced a bill to extend the National Security Agency’s bulk surveillance of call records. While bipartisan lawmakers have sought to reform the bulk spying program after it was exposed by Edward Snowden, the measure introduced late Tuesday by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Intelligence Committee Chair Richard Burr would fully reauthorize sections of the PATRIOT Act which let the NSA vacuum up millions of American's phone records every day. The authority expires June 1 unless Congress takes action.
