SNIP:..."Congress approved a bill on Friday that expands the reach of the Patriot Act, reduces oversight of the FBI and intelligence agencies and, according to critics, shifts the balance of power away from the legislature and the courts.

A provision of an intelligence spending bill will expand the power of the FBI to subpoena business documents and transactions from a broader range of businesses -- everything from libraries to travel agencies to eBay -- without first seeking approval from a judge."

1. Does this go to the Senate for a vote?

I sure hope it can be stopped there.

2. I might have thought it could be stopped....until yesterday.

The Senate did not do itself proud for us yesterday. I am assuming though it needs to go to the senate.
