Meanwhile Vermont Congressman Bernie Sanders is expected to introduce an amendment to a massive spending bill in an attempt to overturn a portion of the USA Patriot Act that allows law enforcement agents to seize library and bookstore records without a traditional search warrant. Last summer, Sanders proposed a similar amendment. He lost on a tie vote only after House Republican leaders extended the time allowed for the vote to defeat it. On Tuesday the Bush administration threatened to veto the $57 billion spending bill if it weakens the Patriot Act.
