WASHINGTON — The Senate gave final congressional approval on Friday to a bill renewing the government’s authority to monitor overseas phone calls and e-mails of suspected foreign spies and terrorists — but not Americans — without obtaining a court order for each intercept.
The classified Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act program was scheduled to expire by year’s end. The 73-to-23 vote sent the bill to a supportive President Obama, whose signature would keep the warrantless intercept program in operation for another five years.

Malarkey as Biden would say. Of course it's not limited to overseas/foreigners, the government intercepts all our email and communications. With the suspension of habeus corpus (National Defense Authorization Act) and the daily sexual molestation of thousands of citizens by the TSA ( Trained for Sexual Assault ), Holder Justice (tm) claiming that the executive branch can kill U.S. citizens without due process ... this is exactly the time U.S. citizens SHOULD have guns as a check on governments limitless assault on our rights.
