Actually it seems their is bipartisan support in the house to reduce the scope. It's the senate that is having the problems I think.

The Freedom Act doesn't quite go far enough, but it's probably the best we can hope for right now.

Those who vote for it are not 'small government.'

Gee, I wonder what party has control of The Senate?   :whistling:

The problem is they aren't spying enough, what we need to do is have everyone's house and office wired for sound and video.  Those with nothing to hide should have nothing to worry about. Am I doing it right?

The Republican Party has control of The Senate.


...And they're having trouble limiting the scope of the patriot act?

Look who is leading the Senate.  The leadership in that house shares DNA with the likes of Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi.  They're not conservatives.  They're just a bunch of plutocrats who are more focused on keeping their positions of power than they are on dialing back governmental intrusion into our lives.  There are a few people in the Senate who are there to beat this, but unfortunately not enough.
