The Senate's just approved a floor vote on six amendments followed by a roll call vote on final passage of H.R.7888 (a bill to expand and reauthorize the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978, aks #FISA, Section 702).
The amendments are:
Paul: attach Fourth Amendment Is Not For Sale Act (which the House passed separately). Great idea, very unlikely the votes are there.
Marshall: not sure
Wyden-Hawley: strip out House langauge with dramatic expansion of powers. Absolutely crtical, we'll see if the votes are there.
Paul: another one, not sure about the details
Durbin-Cramer: attach a warrant requiremnt. Also really important!
Lee: allow more amicus briefs. Valuable, although if this is the only amendment that passes that's not good enough. The Senate passed it overwhelmingly a few years ago but the House blaked
