CNN The Lead With Jake Tapper June 1, 2015 20:04:00

these are tools, and that there have been incidents in the past where these provided information that other methods couldn't. what they would go so far as to say today, though is that this is political posturing by the senate. here's the press secretary. >> unfortunately what we've seen is a whole lot of posturing within the republican party. there's a lot of politics played on this and unfortunately at the expense of the national security and civil liberties of the american people. >> reporter: lots of criticism there. still, what we know is that this bill will likely pass. it's the one that's already passed in the house. it takes the collection of bulk phone data out of the hands of the government puts it with the mown companies, opponents like rand paul still don't agree with that thinking that that's still an overreach. it will likely pass but with amendments. there are senators who want the national security measures to go a little farther to make sure that the phone companies are doing this in a way that is useful. bottom line it's going to take a little more time.
