Patriot Act USA Splits Raul, Mike
The U.S. House has passed HR 2048, the USA Freedom Act, on a 338-88 vote, with Idaho’s members splitting – 2nd District Rep. Mike Simpson voted with the majority in favor, and 1st District Rep. Raul Labrador voted in the minority against the bill. The measure, which extends many parts of the 2001 USA Patriot Act, also ends the mass collection of Americans’ phone data, which backers touted as its biggest selling point. But Labrador said it didn’t go far enough, particularly after a 2nd Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals ruling last week ruled the mass collection illegal/Betsy Russell, Eye on Boise. More here.
Question: Who voted correctly here -- Labrador or Simpson?
