instead of just letting it expire. so there's good reason to try to get this done before midnight tonight. it is pretty crazy situation when you have two republicans one wanting the pariot act to stay in place. both from the statement state. it's like a two-man kentucky derby and the rest of us are sitting in the middle. i'm hopeful that cooler heads will prevail and will be able to get this done. >> knowing everything you know now would you say that we're likely to see the pariot act expire?
