YOU might be able to live with it, but I WOULDN'T be able to live with it.
I'm not of the "I'm not doing anything wrong, so I have nothing to worry about," crap. The Patriot Act violates the Constitution -- and the government looking at what people read encroaches on freedom.
What can you say, though -- some people like to be ruled with an authoritarian fist, in the name of faux security.
Yep, and it's disappointing to say the least, that so many FReepers are willing to give up their freedoms.If this Patriot Act legislation had been passed during the Clinton administration, there would be howls of outrage, but since we are "at war" and Bush is President, these same "conservatives" are willing to give fed.gov unlimited powers.
Sad, it didn't use to be like that here.
Wrong. The Patriot Act doesn't violate the Constitution, or perhaps you're just smarter than the 99 or 100 senators that voted for it, and you're smarter than any of the judges that have upheld it.
When you ask any opponent of the Patriot act to specifically point to the alleged constitutional violation, they normally just mumble and go away. But if you have an argument to make, let's hear it.
