Washington, D.C.- Senator Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) today released the following statement on the USA FREEDOM Act:
"Congress should have reauthorized the expiring provisions of the Patriot Act because they saved Americans lives and protected Americans rights. Instead, the so-called "FREEDOM Act" would replace an effective, Constitutional intelligence collection system with an untested hypothetical one. Worse, it returns us to a dangerous pre-9/11 mindset at a time when America is still at war with radical Islam."
