Wooo!
The Senate Rejects Extension Of Patriot Act - Yahoo News

In a stinging defeat for President Bush, Senate Democrats blocked passage Friday of a new Patriot Act to combat
terrorism at home, depicting the measure as a threat to the
constitutional liberties of innocent Americans.

But there is more...

During debate, several Democrats pointed to a New York Times report
that Bush had secretly authorized the National Security Agency to
eavesdrop on individuals inside the United States without first
securing permission from the courts.

"Today's revelation makes it crystal clear that we have to be very careful, very careful," said Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y.

No Republican defended the reported practice, and the bill's chief
Republican supporter joined in the criticism. "There is no doubt that
this is inappropriate," said Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. He pledged hearings in 2006.

I believe a snowball just rolled though hell folks. A member (several) of the GOP, voted against Dubya's beloved Patriot Act.
Hallelujah!
