If it passes and this mess somehow actually leads to us killing the Patriot Act re-auth I'll happily buy @EFF and @AccessNow good champagne.
@Dymaxion Even I don't think anything will kill PATRIOT. I just think judges more likely to rein it in that Congress. @EFF @AccessNow

@emptywheel Well, sure. Comment comes in the context of the letter that dropped today. -
@Dymaxion I was on it too! USAF reauthorized PATRIOT until 2017. I think using 2015 reauth changes negotiating stance, gives courts 9 mos. -
@emptywheel Oh, I should have read the list of signatories more carefully. And yeah, that follows. -
@Dymaxion So I think your whiskey/coffee measure needs adjusting. USAF extends PATRIOT. -
.
@emptywheel Right. Because USAF re-authorizes PATRIOT, any momentum we have now will be gone in three years. -
@Dymaxion Also, it kills any chance the courts will help, kills standing, gives more immunity. But I'm preaching to the choir. -
@emptywheel Me, maybe, but apparently a bunch of folks who *should* be in the choir don't know this tune.
