"We must give law enforcement the tools they need, with the safeguards we all demand.”

Don't know why the Repubs want the "Patriot" act permanent. Might try limiting the "Patriot" act to terrorism too.

Define terrorism.

I like the fact that most of the patriot Act was originally temporary. I think that most laws Congress passes should have sunset provisions. They'll reach a point where all they can do is renew old law instead of passing new ones.

The real test of a law is "Do you want your opponents enforcing it?" Can you imagine what this country would be like if President Hillary had the power to order the FBI to make warrantless searches on whoever she wanted?
