After more than eight months in limbo, a bill that would criminalize the practice of lying to obtain the telephone records of private citizens passed the Senate late last week. Support in Congress for an anti-pretexting bill has been near-unanimous, but it was held up by a turf war in the Senate. The American Civil Liberties Union said the proposed bill would pre-empt its legal challenges in at least 10 states to the government's use of private telephone records in its anti-terrorism investigations.

After more than eight months in limbo, a bill that would criminalize the practice of lying to obtain the telephone records of private citizens passed the Senate late Friday.
The Senate approved the anti-pretexting bill by a voice vote. The House passed it in April. It now goes to the White House for approval.
