"Privacy is a hallmark of our constitutional system ... "

Utter bullsh!t.

Your privacy ends the day you're mom & dad get your birth cirtificate and goes down hill from that day on.

"The guys a moron."

Actually, you don't know what your talking about. I doubt that you read his speech.

Craig is one of the more consistently Conservative Senators. He's not a sheep however like most in congress. You can bet he did his homework. Most in the Senate and the house didn't bother to read it(so I've heard).

There were problems with the patriot act as they applied to U.S. citizens. They did not get fixed, and Craig did the right thing. Most of it could have been fixed by not having it apply to citizens.
