Patriot Act extension gets senate majority, but not a filibuster proof total

The headlines in the MSM has it as "Senate Rejects Extension of Patriot Act."

It got a majority of the senate votes, 52 of them, but far short of the 60 needed to overcome a certain Democratic filibuster. It's a shame someone like myself has to reposition this story.
