Who exactly do you mean by "the Tea party"? I think the majority of those who call themselves teapartiers do not support the patriot act
although I know some in Congress chose to support the extension.
Mr. mm was reading something from the Sunday paper about it and I THOUGHT that’s what the paper claimed.
I don’t know where the paper got to so can’t verify it.
I agree that it doesn’t make sense. That’s why I was asking.
It may have been nothing more than those supporting the extension, although I don’t know why someone who opposed the PA would support an extension of it.
FWIW, I don’t trust anything any of the liberal MSM claims about the TEA Party.
