Senate Republicans Call For More Surveillance After Orlando Massacre

U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell set up a vote late on Monday to expand the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s authority to use a secretive surveillance order without a warrant to include email metadata and some browsing history information.

The move, made via an amendment to a criminal justice appropriations bill, is an effort by Senate Republicans to respond to last week’s mass shooting in an Orlando nightclub after a series of measures to restrict guns offered by both parties failed on Monday.

They’re busy attempting to further erode the 4th Amendment.

While their actions sync momentarily with the position of the ACLU, their motives do not.
