Paul Will Force Expiration of Patriot Act

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) announced “that he will force the expiration of the Patriot Act’s surveillance authorities this weekend by refusing to allow any votes that would extend them beyond their June 1 sunset,” National Journal reports.

Said Paul: “I believe we must fight terrorism, and I believe we must stand strong against our enemies. But we do not need to give up who we are to defeat them. In fact, we must not. There has to be another way.”
