"People are all hysterical about the Patriot Act, but here is a genuine violation of rights, and it's totally ignored because Martha Stewart happens to be the victim. "

I am still trying to understand how a woman that dumped her stock the day before stocks tanked is somehow a "genuine violation of rights." That rights are you referring to? The right to not break the law? She is being accused of securites fraud. Last I checked this fits perfectly with what she is being accused of. And this Patriot Act nonsense.....I have yet to have ONE person tell me where their "personal liberties" have been DIRECTLY effected by the act.

The stock dumping has nothing to do with this case. You should read up on it a bit before being so free with your comments.
