Are you saying that the Patriot Act does NOT infringe on the Constitution?

No, it doesn't. It is not more intrusive than those powers that have been used in the war on drugs and against the mafia. Every action possible under the Patriot Act must be approved by a court first.

Of course, you should know that, but refuse to acknowledge that previously, our intelligence services and our law enforcement officials were hamstrung by rules that prevented them from working together. Rules put together by many of the anti-American people living in your home city.

Are you saying that courts always make decisions based on the Constitution? C'mon now!
