House Republicans suffered an embarrassing setback Tuesday when they fell seven votes short of extending provisions of the Patriot Act, a vote that served as the first small uprising of the party's tea-party bloc.

The bill to reauthorize key parts of the counter-terrorism surveillance law, which expire at the end of the month, required a super-majority to pass under special rules reserved for non-controversial measures.

But it fell short of the required two-thirds after 26 Republicans bucked their leadership, eight of them freshman lawmakers elected in November's midterm elections. With most Democrats opposing the extension, the final tally was 277 members in favor of extension, and 148 opposed.

Wow - I can hardly believe it when something good happens!

Keep up the pressure - we have to push back

FINALLY, a victory for more freedom, LESS control by government ?

HARD to believe.

Question: CAN there be another vote/way to get aroiung this ?

Can Obammy make an executive order to over ride the Congress ??

Is there ANYTHING this ILLEGAL, ALIEN FRAUD and LIAR can't do as dictator ?

As much as possible we must roll back everything Cheney/Bush pushed thru.

Wow.... There is still hope in America.

They wont need it and its not good.

Heard that Obama has power now to take over time every day on TV, radio, electronics, etc in ordrer to transmit Emergency Broadcasts??
How would you like to listen to big sis telling you to watch all those bad people around you??? THE ORWELLIAN AGE IS HERE. PFFFT THE PATRIOT ACT!!!

I am very surprised it hasnt been posted here???

Infowars is covering the whole story. With backup.

NOPE:ban22:

Just a distraction like all the other bullshit coming and going. Like they will bring 60 minutes into their surveillance rooms and let them be filmed blowing up all the computers...

The Bottom line is, they want us all dead or enslaved and they wont stop until they get what they want.

When we start seeing people a) going to jail or b) asking for amnesty, they we got something going on.

Newsflash people.

Our entire government is criminal.
It doesnt matter what they say, or what bill they pass or dont pass.
They will continue to destroy this country, and destroy the Constitution.
Americans have ZERO freedoms.
Just try to exercise any part of the bill of rights.
The United States is OVER!
WAKE UP!

If you think this decision makes any difference...
YOU ARE WRONG.

Tea Paaaty! Woot! Woot!

I am starting to think if they don't renew the PA the POTUS is going to use that as an excuse to start Executive Ordering off the adult menu.

Republicans were in support of extending the Patriot act provisions by over 8 to 1-
Republicans in favor of passage- 210
Republicans opposed - 26

Democrats opposed extending the Patriot act provisions by nearly 2 to 1-
Democrats in favor of passage- 67
Democrats opposed - 122

Gotta give some credit to the Democrats, don't cha? They are the ones who tanked this bill.

::b:bananaban:r:speedbanan:astabanan:ana2::bananasex:

The mods won't like this.

based on what?

True, but the members do.

And that's all that counts!

A gut feeling based on how this is all setting up.

The first element that is going to go from the Federal government is going to be the legislative branch.

If this doesn't get renewed, and we have a major event... you know what the spin is going to be.

Depending on how bad things get, I'm looking at a torrent of extra-legal measures based on the precedent in the last decade if we are in a national crisis. If a portion of the Legislative Branch is trending impeachment... those are the ingredients for dissolving the legislature effectively a coup, but only by those already in power, actually a revolution from within... it's what happened in Rome in a way during the fall of the Republic.

The bottom line here is that Presidente Obama, King and Emperor of the New World Odor in the North American Continent will declare the Patriot Act to be valid as long as an emergency exists.

The emergency in question will be decided by the senate and the CIA will create whatever other emergencies deemed necessary by the POTUS or the SCOTUS whichever wins the pool match known as "eight ball."

We all know EXACTLY where the Democrat's loyalties lie.

can't believe there are still people that stand up for freedom. God bless em.

Earlier tonight, the U.S. House DEFEATED legislation to extend three of the so-called “PATRIOT” Act’s controversial provisions.

Because the bill was put on the “Suspension Calendar,” it needed 290 votes to pass.

Thanks to the quick action of true Patriots, however, the vote failed 277-148. Click here to see how your representative voted.

Yeah?

Well, if you think we're gonna give up fighting them because you think all is lost, you don't even begin to know us at all. Not one iota!

We won't stop fighting these crooks until we crush them to dust. Even if the effort takes a thousand years or more. And we won't take "no" for an answer.

So what are YOU going to do to stop us? Huh?

.

Why??


Obama will just use the FCC's "Fairness Doctrine" or some
other bullshit loophole to SPY on American Citizens.

Vote in more Republicans, and the Patriot Act will be sure to pass next time. There were over 100 new Republicans elected to the new Congress, but only 8 of the new Republicans voted against extending the Patriot Act provisions today. The old guard Republicans voted against the Patriot Act in a greater percentage than the newly elected Republicans!

No matter how you cut it, the Democrats were far more opposed to extending these Patriot Act provisions than Republicans.
