Sources: Obama wants GOP to water down Leahy's USA Freedom Act

Sources say President Obama and Harry Reid are pushing for Leahy's bill to be voted on only after the GOP takes control of the Senate so that Republicans can help create a more "intelligence community friendly" bill.

After last week's election, it didn't look like Congress was going to do much legislating during the rest of this year's lame duck session; however, a Wednesday evening announcement suggests that at least one big bill may be heading for a vote. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D – Nev.) indicated that he filed a procedural motion on the USA FREEDOM Act, meaning the bill could get an up-or-down vote in the Senate as early as next week. If the legislation passes the Senate it could become the law of the land before the end of the year.
