Narrow defeat for Amash amendment to restrict NSA surveillance | World news | The Guardian
The amendment was voted on in the House today and was defeated by just a 217-205 margin. On one hand, I find this disappointing because I would have liked to see this get passed and surveillance be restricted. On the other hand though, it somewhat encouraging that there seems to be growing discontent in Congress over these surveillance programs. Maybe there is hope after all. But I won't hold my breath.
