Senate blocks debate over Patriot Act re-authorization
Colorado U.S. Senator Mark Udall joined with a small bipartisan band of colleagues to slow the move on Capitol Hill to quickly reauthorize the Patriot Act and extend its most controversial provisions for another four years. That effort was derailed Tuesday when Majority Leader Harry Reid called for a vote to "table" or stop work on the act. He got his wish. The Senate voted to block debate 74 to 13 votes.
