Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) and other civil libertarians have long been wary of the Patriot Act and the governments terrifying ability to monitor they every day activities of average Americans. Members of both the right and left wings of American politics tried to stop the reauthorization of the Patriot Act in 2015 and there may well be another reauthorization fight coming in the near future. While the White House would like a simple “clean” reauthorization, the latest revelations that the Obama administration spent some 5 years (from 2011 – 2016) breaking all of the rules that they themselves had established, will likely make the possibility of a “clean” reauthorization difficult.
