Republican Senate Mi**rity Leader Mitch McConnell took a firm stand Against government surveillance Reform Tuesday and encouraged his caucus to Vote Against a measure to bring the USA FREEDOM Act to the Senate floor. In a statement Tuesday McConnell said he ?strongly opposes? the bill because of its potential to hinder national security efforts used to combat terrorist threats like the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. He proceeded: ?This is the worst possible time to be tying our hands behind our backs. The threat from ISIL is real. It?s different from what we?ve faced before. And if we?re going to overcome it ? if our aim is to degrade and destroy ISIL, as the president has said ? then that?s going to require smart policies and firm determination.?
