The Senate is holding an unusual weekend vote tomorrow to extend section 215 of the Patriot Act 2 more months. If that vote fails, NSA bulk spying on U.S. citizens is illegal on June 1st.

Here's how senators have voted in the past. http://www.nationaljournal.com/politics/patriot-act-reauthor...

It's already illegal! The NSA reasoning behind their collection is, IMHO, a legal fiction.
