If we're arguing semantics it would be incorrect to say that it was simply renamed. Nothing was literally renamed. The part of the Patriot Act that lapsed in 2020 was Section 215. This was already gutted by https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/house-bill/2048... 5 years prior. We also had FISA in 2008 https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/R48592. 702 also expired, except it was recertified through 2027 so who the fuck knows what's going on there. EO12333 https://www.nsa.gov/Signals-Intelligence/EO-12333/ is a few decades prior, but nobody likes it when the younger generation grumbles about its elders so I'm sticking to stuff in my lifetime.
