McConnell's favorite "holiday gambit" didn't work (pushing legislation against a holiday recess) so now he's going to try his second favorite "cliff gambit" where he pushes legislation against an expiration deadline).

Threats, threats, always threats, with Mitch!

There's a simple answer: get a warrant to go after TERRORISTS and stop trying to gather information on potential POLITICAL enemies.

I’m still waiting for the day the RINOs use such tactics to corral Democrats into voting for something that actually shrinks government.

A trio of libertarian-leaning senators objected to McConnell’s attempts to offer even a two-day extension of the programs, leaving the Republican leader little option but to send lawmakers home and regroup for a last-ditch attempt next week to salvage the PATRIOT Act.

Who were the other two senators among this "trio"? The article is somewhat vague. It appears that one is Cruz, but I'm not sure - unless I need more coffee...
