"portions of the Patriot Act may be unconstitutional"

Might we leave that to Congress and the Courts and to disinerested experts, say Bork or Keene, rather that to people paid by terrorist-funding fronts and foreign governments -or at least engage in such analysis with the Federalist Society or someplace other than Al Arian's NCPPF, whose interest is not the US constitution, but rather how to be maximally protected by it while they try to blow us up? (recall the good Justice's admonition that the 'Constitution of the United States is not a sucide pact."

1) By the way, of course, the point was not simply whether Qatar was good or bad at the time, but rather than Grover shold have registers and otehrwise disclosed that this is who he works for rather than trying to both hide and lie about it, per se, and lie by saying II works on behalf of the putative "American Muslim Community."

2) Estimates of this "community" ,by the way, are greatly exaggerated by the II types. Census and polling date, and analysis by several universities and by the conservative STATS, indicates the number is betweem 2 and 3 million , inclusive of 800,000 Arab-American (most of whom are Christian. 30-40 % of American Muslims are black converts and highly unlikley to ever vote GOP or join the conservative movement. Further, when adjusted for the cohort who can legally vote ( a large number are arrived within last decade from S/SE Asia and are either illegal or not citizens yet), and then applying to that normative party break down (even unadjusted for 1- 2nd generation immigrant Democratic Party voting tendencies), and you get something like 200,000 votes nationwide possible for the GOP.
