After the September 11 attacks , the one-term Representative Udall was one of 66 House members to vote against the Patriot Act . In 2011 , Udall voted against reauthorizing the Patriot Act . In July 2014 , Udall voted against the CISPA bill , a proposed law which would allow for the sharing of Internet traffic information between the U.S. government and technology and manufacturing companies , voicing his concerns that it " lacks adequate protections for the privacy rights . " During the 2011 debate over the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 ( NDAA ) , Udall introduced an amendment to end the practice of military detention of American citizens indefinitely and without trial . In response to the amendment 's introduction , the Obama administration threatened to veto the bill . The amendment was rejected by a vote of 60 – 38 ( with 2 abstaining ) . Udall subsequently voted for the Act in the joint session of Congress that passed it , and though he remained " extremely troubled " by the detainee provisions , he promised to " push Congress to conduct the maximum amount of oversight possible "
