"Members vote 293 to 121 to stop NSA performing warrantless searches of data collected under foreign surveillance program" and what will happen now?"

See the full article: House of Representatives moves to ban NSA's 'backdoor search' provision (Guardian, link)

And see: Congress wants NSA reform after all. Obama and the Senate need to pass it (Guardian, link): "the real hurdle remains in the Senate, where these strengthened provisions will still have to be adopted and passed on to Obama's desk if they have any chance of having an affect. That is still a long shot, but the pressure's not going away."
