Yeh too bad he’s the only one with the stones to stand up for our personal freedoms every single day. The Patriot Act IMO is one of the biggest thefts of our personal freedoms in history. It needs to be wrestled to the ground and stake put through its heart. :-)
Exactly! Our laws are supposed to be written in simple, easy to understand language, not made up as Christmas trees to have everyone's wish list on in bureaucratese,which is exactly what the Patriot Act was in the first place, and each 'renewal' seems to make it even worse.
A dem has joined in now and Mike Lee is on his way.
I must be missing something. My life has not been impacted in any way by the Patriot Act, other than the terrorist attacks that have been thwarted.
I like what the legislation that Cruz is supporting does. It limits the NSA without stripping us of being able to detect and monitor threats. We can’t go back to pre 9/11. Freedom is not being dead at the hands of a terrorist.
Rand Paul gets a star for this one. (After his dumb abortion comment, he needed something positive.)
But, there is every reason to believe the NSA is collecting everything on everyone. They fudge admission of that fact by saying they are not listening, or some such dodge word.
