I don't blame Frist for their vote.

I blame them.

Fixating on Frist is as stupid as their vote.

No way...I'm going to send them an e-mail thanking them for voting "no". The Patriot Act is flat-out unconstitutional--& why I'm disappointed that the Act itself wasn't repealed entirely, this is a good start.

As Senate Majority Leader, Frist must vote Against the motion to invoke Cloture in order to be able to push the motion to invoke Cloture again.

It is procedural.

His NO vote is not the same as the other four.

Pay attention.... he's the leader and changed his vote so the bill could be reconsidered.

You can take a vacation with McCain and Bin Laden.

There is nothing unconstitutional about the Patriot Act.

There is something very stupid about those who look to make forgetting 9-11 our national pastime.

Discrace? We all know the real problem is immigration. Why would you rather cede intrusive powers to the government when defending our borders is its real job? Besides, just imagine a John Kerry, a Hillary Clinton, or an Al Gore with these kinds of powers. Don't forget that one of the proposed "Patriot Act" clauses was a provision to allow the military to disarm Americans, such as was the (illegal) case in New Orleans this year during the Katrina crisis.

The real discrace is on both sides of the aisle for refusing to deport illegally entered Muslims and Hispanics, and for refusing to admit that our immigration policy needs to explicitly avoid certain ethnic groups.

That some members of Congress know certain elements of the Patriot Act are flawed is a pleasant surprise.

I don't mind the way they voted. I look forward to the debate, the amending, and eventually the extension of the Patriot Act.

It is the democratic process at work, and frankly - I like to think that the Patriot Act is not a permanent fixture in our laws. I shudder to think how the Democrats might put the Patriot Act to work for them.

I agree with you.

These are what expire at the end of the year:

(AP) -- Sixteen provisions of the USA Patriot Act expire December 31 if not renewed by Congress:

Section 201: Gives federal officials the authority to intercept wire, spoken and electronic communications relating to terrorism.

Section 202: Gives federal officials the authority to intercept wire, spoken and electronic communications relating to computer fraud and abuse offenses.

Subsection 203(b): Permits the sharing of grand jury information that involves foreign intelligence or counterintelligence with federal law enforcement, intelligence, protective, immigration, national defense or national security officials

Subsection 203(d): Gives foreign intelligence or counterintelligence officers the ability to share foreign intelligence information obtained as part of a criminal investigation with law enforcement.

Section 204: Makes clear that nothing in the law regarding pen registers -- an electronic device which records all numbers dialed from a particular phone line -- stops the government's ability to obtain foreign intelligence information.

Section 206: Allows federal officials to issue roving "John Doe" wiretaps for spy and anti-terrorism investigations.

Section 207: Increases the amount of time that federal officials may watch people they suspect are spies or terrorists.

Section 209: Permits the seizure of voicemail messages under a warrant.

Section 212: Permits Internet service providers and other electronic communication and remote computing service providers to hand over records and e-mails to federal officials in emergency situations.

Section 214: Allows use of a pen register or trap and trace devices -- a device that records the originating phone numbers of all incoming calls on a particular phone line -- in international terrorism or spy investigations.

Section 215: Authorizes federal officials to obtain "tangible items" like business records, including those from libraries and bookstores, for foreign intelligence and international terrorism investigations.

Section 217: Makes it lawful to intercept the wire or electronic communication of a computer hacker or intruder in certain circumstances.

Section 218: Allows federal officials to wiretap or watch suspects if foreign intelligence gathering is a "significant purpose" for seeking a Federal Intelligence Surveillance Act order. The pre-Patriot Act standard said officials could ask for the surveillance only if it was "the" sole or main purpose.

Section 220: Provides for nationwide service of search warrants for electronic evidence.

Section 223: Amends the federal criminal code to provide for administrative discipline of federal officers or employees who violate prohibitions against unauthorized disclosures of information gathered under this act.

Section 225: Amends FISA to prohibit lawsuits against people or companies that provide information to federal officials for a terrorism investigation.

We don't need the Patriot Act.

If the Patriot Act isn't renewed, the 'Gorelick Wall' automatically goes back up.

Anyone who is against the Patriot is clueless about the law, the Constitution, and Intelligence gathering.

There is a reason the ACLU is celebrating this result and it is not because it is good for America.

Terrorists will now be able to work under the radar and when Americans die, the opponents of the Patriot Act will get thank you notes from al qaeda.

Dear Senator:

Your vote in support of the democrat fillibuster has been duly noted. I wish you were my Senator but take great solace in knowing that I can vote against both my Senators from Wisconsin.
