What else do you want.

The patriot act is now history.

No more detaining padilla without a trial.

No more aggressive terrorist interrogation tactics.

No more wiretaps.

No more renditions.

No more secret prisons in europe.

We have less anti terror laws than before 9/11. Heck you can even carry a knife on a plane again. What else do you want.

It is amazing that the critics of these anti terrorist measures win by having them go away and they still aren't happy.

What do I want? I want the Bill of Rights absolutely secure and untouchable by regular law. If you want to partially revoke on of them, why not propose an Amendment doing so? I was dead set against Clinton/Reno having these powers, I'm dead set against Bush/Ashcroft-Gonzales having them, and I'm dead set against Hillary/whoever having them.

The "patriot" act is not history. Our statist friends in big government will make sure it passes, and it will be permanent. Within the month.

I haven't voted Republican since they proposed the damned thing in the first place. I will never vote Democrat. But the last straw for any support of Republican candidates comes for me when I have to cheer dems for blocking this anti-Constitutional piece of garbage. If a party makes me have to side with the dems who I have been disgusted with my entire adult life, then I am certainly permanently done with that party.

Actually, must of the Patriot Act still remains in place.

There are only 16 provisions that are set to sunset, if I am not mistaken.

(The rest should go too, IMHO. In the long run, government power exists at the detriment of a free society.)
