If the administration would accept limitations in the law forbidding any of these powers from being used for anything but counterterrorism, he could get it past.
Ashcroft lied about how he would use the Patriot Act by using it's powers for other crimes. He cannot be trusted not to do it again. Any future Democratic administration certainly can't be trusted. Anyone want to guess how Jamie Gorelick would use these powers domestically if she was Atty. General?

I am more worried about democrats having these tools, than us not having them, perio.d
