"What do YOU oppose about the act?"

For one, it's not limited to terrorism, as it had been sold.

How could something be absolutely limited to terrorism?

As I understand it, the Patriot Act is best described as an expansion of the RICO laws to include terror organizations, in addition to the organized crime outfits that RICO was limited to.

Seems like a reasonable direction to me.
