In the best tradition of "1984"-newspeak: Sen. Cotton's "Liberty Through Strength Act"

Under the USA Freedom Act, the phone records being hoovered up by the NSA would instead remain stored with the wireless carriers who operate the nation’s cellular networks. The government could only query those databases with specific warrants and requests related to investigations. Since the court ordered the original program shut down by the end of November, this new program is slated to take effect on Dec. 1.

...

The Liberty Through Strength Act would keep the NSA’s old program – again, it can’t be said often enough that this program has been deemed unconstitutional by a court of law – in operation through Jan. 31, 2017. How convenient that it ends just after President Selfie Stick leaves office and new President Donald Trump can demand Congress pass another extension.
