l
An amendment that would have removed controversial telecom immunity grants from an eavesdropping bill failed to pass in the Senate today, receiving only 31 votes. The full bill—which will be put to a vote in the Senate later today—is intended to replace the Protect America Act, a temporary measure that will soon expire. The House version of the bill does not contain the immunity provision.
