21:32 < Joe> I have nothing on that srevilak.
21:33 < srevilak> Bills.
21:33 < srevilak> Anyone know status of earnit act or patriot act renewal?
21:35 < Joe> Patriot act kinda sorta went through with a few provisions
       stripped.
21:35 < Malt> no
21:35 < srevilak> https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/116/s3398 says
       reported out of committee, but not taken up in legislature
21:35 < srevilak> That's earn it act
21:36 < Joe> earnit act not 100% on
21:38 < Joe> looks like it's stuck at the committee level with only a 2%
       chance of passing.
21:38 < Malt> how are you getting percentages?
21:38 < srevilak> That's from the govtrack.us site
