Just days after key portions of the Patriot Act expired Congress has passed the USA Freedom Act, which many are saying is an historic win for privacy advocates. We’re going to discuss today and see if they’re right.

Cenk Uygur (The Young Turks) and John Iadarola (Think Tank) break it down. Tell us what you think in the comments below.

"The Senate on Tuesday sent legislation reforming the nation’s surveillance laws to President Obama’s desk — days after a stalemate caused the National Security Agency’s powers to lapse.

President Obama signed the bill into law Tuesday evening, the White House said.

The 67-32 vote for the USA Freedom Act came more than 36 hours after three parts of the Patriot Act expired, forcing the NSA to wind down its bulk collection of U.S. phone data."

While it's a start, I think people should realize that even without the Patriot Act, the surveillance state will stay in tact. We need to dismantle the whole damn thing and force the government to enforce the Constitution.
