Domestic surveillance fate unclear after lengthy Senate talk

The fate of the government‘s bulk collection of Americans‘ phone records is unclear following an FBI warning, House-Senate disagreements and more than 10 hours of criticisms by a GOP presidential candidate.

Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky dominated the Senate floor from 1:18 p.m. to 11:49 p.m. Wednesday to decry the National Security Agency‘s mass collection of phone data without warrants.
