Yeah, we did. And we, Conservatives, have to acknowledge that we played a large role in its passage greatly in part due to our knee-jerk reaction to come to President Bush's defense.

I recall there being a few people who questioned how it was that such a huge piece of legislation and its accompanying huge bureaucracy (The DHS) came together so fast.

Those people were virtually run out of town on a rail.

Then we found out a few years later, I think Rush Limbaugh was one of the first to point it out, that The Patriot Act had been written years before by a guy named Joe Biden and had been sitting in some desk drawer somewhere just waiting for the opportunity to enacted.

Hmmmmmmmm.

Shame some enterprising GOP Senator didn't do the same for an Obamacare repeal law.
