My [edit/comment]-- Irony: House Republicans block Patriot Act extension to end of 2011; Obama wanted a 3-year bill « Uppity Woman:
"The bill to extend [the Patriot Act's more onerous provisions] through December 2011 was defeated 277-148.
The Republican Defectors:
Republicans voting against the bill were Reps. Justin Amash (Mich.), Roscoe Bartlett (Md.), Rob Bishop (Utah), Paul Broun (Ga.), John Campbell (Calif.), John Duncan (Tenn.), Mike Fitzpatrick (Pa.), Chris Gibson (N.Y.), Tom Graves (Ga.), Dean Heller (Nev.), Randy Hultgren (Ill.), Tim Johnson (Ill.), Walter Jones (N.C.), Jack Kingston (Ga.), Raul Labrador (Idaho), Connie Mack (Fla.), Kenny Marchant (Texas), Tom McClintock (Calif.), Ron Paul (Texas), Denny Rehberg (Mont.), Phil Roe (Tenn.), Dana Rohrabacher (Calif.), Bobby Schilling (Ill.), David Schweikert (Ariz.), Rob Woodall (Ga.), and Don Young (Alaska).
The bill was sponsored by a Not Too Pleased Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R-Wis.), whom I am sure is apoplectic over that Tea Party thing right now..."
