Perhaps you should read the Actual Patriot Act!
I have NOT read it but I know some bits...
for example .. this whole "library" thing is just plain silly.
Atty. G. Gonzales stated that there had been 37 ?
(I claim CRS disease on the #
instances in which the article 230 #something) been used since it's enactment, he was rather forthcoming regarding the results.
Maybe Sandy Berger can come over to your house for dinner next week?
For crying out loud, how the heck are we supposed to be safe
(this is not a "border" thought) from the people who threaten us financially, internally, security wise, personally.. when we are no longer a weapon owning Society!
THAT 2nd Ammendment right has been emasculated in most urban areas.. also an issue for another day!
I am a supporter of the Constitution and it's Importance..
but I am unsure THAT WE HAVE SPENT ENOUGH CONSIDERATION ON the Safety of our beloved land and the technology with which we are faced!
P.S. judge Napolitano was full of crap!
He did not back up any statements as facts, just rendered his holy decision!
I thought his comments rather "telling"1
But ...Whaadooiknow?
I was making dinner and trying to respond to several at once!
and of course our civil rights were better when the FBI had to get individual wiretap warrants for each and every phone someone might be on, as opposed to a blanket wiretap. so while the AQ suspect is picking up a new phone every couple of hours at best buy, the FBI has to run to a judge to get a new wiretap for it. yeah, those were the good old days when we were safe.
We are still allowing people from the middle eastern terrorist states to immigrate here. Now, do you really think the fact that the FBI can't search anything they want inside our borders is the real problem? Hell no it isn't. The government should get it's house in order, and then if needs be, we'll address reasoned powers. These aren't.
