Sanders MIA For Key Vote
On Thursday, the Senate took up a key bill to reauthorize domestic surveillance programs while making changes to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
One of the amendments would have required authorities to obtain a warrant to access internet usersβ search histories and browsing information.
The amendment failed with 59 yeas to 37 nays.
The bill was one vote short of the 60-vote threshold it needed to overcome the filibuster.
Bernie Sanders was conspicuously absent and did not vote.
