This is actually a HUGE VICTORY FOR OSAMA BIN LADEN AND HIS COMRADES ABROAD AND IN THE US.

Not huge. The provisions would not and did not stop terrorism. They did contribute to false positives (wasted resources spent tracking the wrong people). The real fight against terrorism comes from actions overseas (which are not affected by this vote) and core values at home.

Not only is this a huge victory for the Jihadis, its a huge victory for the marxists and the enemy within, who were on the ropes thanks to McCarthy, and have come full circle to operating unfettered and openly at the highest levels of the US Government.

And the Band played on.
