Senate Ready to Rumble Over Freedom Act Amendments

The U.S. Senate on Tuesday voted to close debate on the USA Freedom Act, a measure that would prohibit the NSA from the indiscriminate collection Americans' phone call data. The bill already has passed in the House. However, the brawling over the bill is not quite over. The Senate has yet to address several proposed amendments to the legislation before voting on it later on Tuesday. Action on the proposal is viewed as urgent, because several provisions in the Patriot Act expired Monday.
