Justin Amash’s bill was actually an amendment to a budget, and would have simply defunded the NSA’s program that tracks the metadata—phone numbers, call times, and possibly locations—of Americans’ calls. It failed by a mere 12 votes, and Amash later said that several in Congress told him they’d change their votes now if they could. Sensenbrenner’s bill, already touted for a few weeks, is expected to be introduced Tuesday. Six of its cosponsors are House representatives who voted against Amash’s amendment bill, and clearly now have voter’s remorse.
