So are you willing to turn America into a police state...
Wasting your breath. The Sheeple are not listening.
If it had been a Democrat led congress who passed and supported this monster, most everyone here would be complaining about this "act".
I have already expressed my thanks to these four. It had to be difficult to do what is right.

Cordially,

Can you explain what is in this "monster", and compare it to what the law provided before? Can you explain just what "privacy rights" are different, under the Patriot Act, and for whom?

I expect not. I expect all you know are suppositions and talking points from the media and the pundits and not legal experts.

Oh yeah, I agree w/ you, GrandEagle....this was a Republican power grab, we we all know that Republicans would NEVER do such a thing if it wasn't in our best interests, [GAG!] right?

But if a DIM Ptrsident & Congress had done this, all hell would be breaking loose here by these GOP lackeys. Even as I write this, I am listening to Judge Andrew Napolitano compare compare President Bush's illegal use of search warrants wo approval by court order to Nixon's use of the FBI against Vietnam War protestors....an excellent comparison.
