The patriot act has been in place since 2001. It's been there nearly 15 years.. We shouldn't be chipping away at this point, but smashing it with a fucking hammer.
He's done though.. it seems this wasn't a "real" filibuster as the bill isn't slated to be voted on until later in the week. I'm not sure how he could call it a filibuster though unless he was just holding up some other bill from today in protest..
