Report: Reid to Join Feingold in Blocking Patriot Act
Raw Story reports in an exclusive that Sen. Harry Reid will vote against cloture on the Patriot Act renewal legislation.
Reid has told aides he will vote against cloture -- a Senate procedure which requires that 60 senators support a bill being brought before the Senate before it is brought to a final vote. In essence, voting against cloture means supporting a filibuster.
This is a really bad bill, both from a civil liberties and and a criminal justice standpoint.
