I didn't insult you; your response seemed to me to be a non-sequitor. You were mocking those who dislike some aspects of the Patriot Act, accusing them of opposing "more effective intelligence, counterterrorism, and law enforcement."
I was simply pointing out that the Bill of Rights actually does draw a line, which obviously limits the effectiveness of law enforcement, since it would be much easier to stop crime without limits on searches, or due process for the accused. And it was done quite intentionally, as the founding fathers had personally experienced the abuse of authority.

But implicit in most of the anti-Patriot Act arguments is that the Act somehow crosses these lines. And no one has made any persuasive case that it does.
