21. No, Cardlaw is right. Nothing was done to renew the Patroit Act today.

It was an amendment to weaken it. That's it.

House Leaves Patriot Act Unchanged

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Republican-led U.S. House of Representatives, under pressure from the White House and its own leadership, narrowly refused on Thursday to weaken the Patriot Act, a centerpiece of the administration's war on terror.

On a tie vote of 210-210, the chamber rejected a proposal that carried a White House veto threat and would have limited federal monitoring of library records and bookshop orders. A majority vote was needed to pass the measure.

There's nothing in any article out there that says anything about it being renewed, so don't panic yet.
