Senate Rejects Bid To Prevent Warrantless Government Surveillance Of Internet Use (https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/senate-rejects-bid-to-prevent-warrantless-government-surveillance-of-internet-use/ar-BB142OR5)
The Senate on Wednesday narrowly defeated a measure seeking to prevent Americans? internet browsing and search histories from warrantless surveillance by the federal government.https://www.ar-15.co/{"default":{"load":"default","w":"80","h":"59","sr c":"//img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/BB142LJ5.img?h=1188&w=1598&m=6&q=60&o=f&l=f&x=1874&y=1039"},"dpi":2,"size3column":{"load":"default"," w":"62","h":"46","src":"//img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/BB142LJ5.img?h=928&w=1248&m=6&q=60&o=f&l=f&x=1874&y=1039"},"size2column":{"load":"default","w":"62", "h":"46","src":"//img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/BB142LJ5.img?h=928&w=1248&m=6&q=60&o=f&l=f&x=1874&y=1039"}}
The vote was 59 in favor, 37 opposed ― short of the necessary 60 votes needed for adoption.
Offered as an amendment by Sens. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) and Steve Daines (R-Mont.) to the renewal of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), the vote on it was marked by a scrambling of the Senate?s partisan divide.
Backing the proposal were 34 Democrats, 24 Republicans and one independent. But, with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (https://www.huffpost.com/news/topic/mitch-mcconnell) (R-Ky.) a prime opponent, voting against it were 27 Republicans and 10 Democrats.
?Is it right at this unique time when millions of law-abiding citizens are at home, for the government to be able to spy on their internet searches and web browsing without a warrant?? Wyden, a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, asked on Wednesday, referring to the coronavirus epidemic. ?That?s exactly what the government has the power to do without our amendment.?
