Senate Passes PATRIOT, Adds Civil Liberties Protections - The Senate approved an amended version of the Patriot Act Reauthorization Bill by unanimous consent. Although the measure, which was approved last week by the Senate Judiciary Committee, does not go as far toward restoring checks and balances as CDT would like, it contains important reforms and is a better bill for civil liberties than the bill approved by the House of Representatives in July. CDT has drafted a memo detailing the key provisions of, and differences between, the two measures. August 01, 2005
