The White House just bought four more months for NSA reauthorization - The Verge
'According to a New York Times report today, the White House believes the Patriot Act’s surveillance provisions won’t expire until four months into 2018. '
'If that certification is taken as a legal authorization for the FISA court overall — as White House lawyers suggest — then Congress will have another four months to work out the details of reauthorization. '
'There are already several proposals for Patriot Act reauthorization in the Senate, which focus the Section 702 provisions that authorize certain types of NSA surveillance. '
'All year, legislators have been bracing for a major fight over NSA surveillance. '
'The 2015 bill that reauthorized the Patriot Act is set to expire on December 31st of this year. '
