The Republicans regurlarly vote no to the Patriot act. There is no need to repeal it because it expired earlier this year. The democrats tried to renew it but it failed. And then covid happened. I don't have any idea how NSA handles the expiration of the act, but I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't even notice or care.

Where do you get the idea that Republicans are against the Patriot Act? A majority of them vote to reauthorize it every time it comes up. Yes, some Democrats like Feinstein are for it, too, but that doesn’t mean they all are. https://twitter.com/SenateGOP/status/1261002222772551681
