Justin Amash’s amendment to curtail NSA narrowly defeated. The Roll Call:

Justin Amash’s amendment to curtail NSA spying on innocent Americans was narrowly defeated by a margin of 217-205.

(SCROLL DOWN FOR FULL ROLL CALL VOTE.) Both parties were fractured by the vote, however a majority of Republicans opposed the Amash amendment. No doubt, these Republicans and Democrats supporting NSA dragnet spying are going to get an earful when they return to their districts. Let’s hope many of them find themselves challenged in their primaries. Earlier in the evening, Rep. Thomas Massie’s amendment to cut off military aid to Egypt did pass by voice vote.
