Some key provisions of the Patriot Act (roving wiretaps of suspected terrorists/foreign agents, electronic monitoring of suspects without a warrant (this one has never been invoked, apparently), and warrants for “business records” - like medical or library records - of suspects) are up for renewal at year’s end. The Obama Administration is already on record as supporting their renewal, so I hope Congress agrees.
