House trims PATRIOT extension to 1 month

CNN.com – Patriot Act gets one-month extension – Dec 22, 2005

While to many this may seem as though the House is giving the bill less of a chance than the Senate, the truth is more insidious. A one-month extension won’t be enough to effect any real change and the administration will again be able to resume their strong-arm tactics to force a vote on making the current provisions permanent. Sickening.
