Will the Democrats in the Senate vote to extend Bush's FISA Ammendments?

This is from a CREDO action email:

"The U.S. House of Representatives recently voted to renew the FISA Amendments Act of 2008, a sweeping, Bush-era law that allows our government to trample our constitutional rights in the name of "national security.""

Will the Senate go along with this (IMO) clear violation of our Constitution? Or will they support Sen Merkley's bill?

"Progressive champion Sen. Jeff Merkley recently introduced the Protect America's Privacy Act (S. 3515) to end warrantless spying on Americans."

We need to contact our Senators and Pres Obama to end this unnecessary intrusion of our privacy.

5. Not unless they add something even more outrageous

that's craftily worded to seem innocuous to the casual reader.

3. Of course they will, they never met an intrusion of privacy they didn't like.
