It was approved as good law for 4 years.

It is being extended as good law for 6 more months.

If it has been good for 4 years and needed and extended for 6 more months, then why wouldn't it be good law until the war on terror is over?

And when will that be? When the executive branch decides that it's over and it will give its new powers back?

Someone better tell Harry Reid that the reports of the Patriots Acts dead were greatly exaggerated.

Fine by me. It should be renewed once a year. It should never be made permanent. Laws that are made permanent are rarely (never) overturned.

Is it possible that with a bad person at the helm of this country the law could be harmful? I would think so. Having it be subject to periodic renewal allows for it to be killed if the person in power shouldn't be trusted with it.

All the more reason to make the damn thing permanent.
