Senate panel approves email privacy bill to require warrants
The Senate Judiciary Committee approved a bill to require judges to issue warrants before police can access emails and electronic files from providers like Google and Facebook. The measure, backed by Sen. Leahy, would strengthen digital privacy despite law enforcement concerns and follows recent high profile investigations highlighting access to email content. The full Senate faces a lame duck session, with House action still pending, as privacy groups praise the move while critics warn of possible investigative hurdles.

Congress stalls as fiscal cliff talks falter in post election brink
Congress haggles over a first postelection budget clash as Boehner signals no talks break but disappointment grows. The White House insists on $1.6 trillion in tax rises, $30 billion for jobless aid, $25 billion to prevent a Medicare cut, and up to $50 billion for a new stimulus, with future spending cuts and tax reform on offer. Senators Reid and Schumer press for a serious GOP counter, while economists warn a cliff plunge could trigger a recession if no deal is reached.
