KFBB: Tester Votes Against Patriot Act Extension, Which Senate Passes Overwhelmingly
The controversial Patriot Act was on the table tonight in D.C.
Senator Jon Tester was one of only a handful of senators opposing the extension of the law for three months.
Tester is a longtime critic of the Patriot Act, which gives the government broad power to collect information like personal library records.
The act was created as a measure to combat terrorism.
