They are going to get us used to the idea that government people can do ANYTHING to us. This is a wedge issue and should be used as such by Republicans. There are hosts of “demographic groups” that absolutely despise this. Personally, I’d rather be groped than photographed naked, but both are done to me without probable cause by government authority in an airport now and it’s unconstitutional, and even more deeply, an infringement on my basic decency.
Do you all notice the timing of this, right after the elections? What would have happened if Obo and his gang had announced this two weeks before the elections?
But the Dems are for it and the Republicans are kind of against it, just kinda. And the ACLU is advocating for our enemies, somewhere else.
But the Dems who hated the Patriot Act now love the heavy hand when they are excused from it.
