Freedom has died , quite literally .
To be more accurate , theUSA FREEDOM Act of 2014 , which attempt to define telephone record collection and reform the secluded FISA courts , has failed to move forward . The bill failed in the Senate , defeated by an irritatingly close 58 to 42 ( the bill postulate 60 votes to move forward ) .

This does n’t signify the remnant for reform — Senator Leahy , who introduced the note , has vow to keep fighting , and Oregon Democrat Ron Wyden has also pledged to keep fighting until “ there is true reform that ends this unnecessary overreach ” . But either way , this is the remainder of any real promise of reform in 2014 . The focal point will now shift to next year , when Section 215 of the Patriot Act is prepare to expire . Section 215 provide the legal pretext for the NSA ’s domesticated disk collection , and it ’s far from certain than a Republican - overtop House of Representatives will reincarnate it . [ Guardian ]
